Nine senior researchers from five different faculties at Lund University have been granted three million SEK for a novel transdisciplinary initiative to improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Four of them are research leaders from the strategic research area MultiPark at the Medical Faculty. The collaboration also involves Region Skåne, Lund Municipality, and several important partner

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

Around 20 000 Swedes are currently suffering from Parkinson’s disease, yet there are still only treatments to alleviate symptoms. Through a new biobank, researchers gain access to the genetic profiles of 1000 Parkinson’s patients together with comprehensive information about their lifestyles and medical histories. “I am convinced that many researchers will use the biobank over the next few years,

T-cells, antibodies, and antigens. During the past year, we have learned a lot about our immune system through media. Most people agree that the immune system is crucial for our survival. But how does the immune system affect Parkinson’s disease; is it necessary to keep our brains healthy, or does it contribute to disease progression? The answer to that question is unfortunately not straightforwar

An experimental study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that the Alzheimer’s protein amyloid-beta accumulates inside nerve cells, and that the misfolded protein may then spread from cell to cell via nerve fibres. This happens at an earlier stage than the formation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain, something that is associated with the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The study in

A combination of two imaging methods can be used to achieve structural and chemical information within a single neuron. Researchers from MultiPark at Lund University recently developed this approach. Their study reveals that amyloid aggregates, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, may cause clustering of iron in primary neurons. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia.
