Inflammatoriska reaktioner i hjärnan har länge misstänkts vara involverade vid Alzheimers sjukdom, men de är svåra att studera i den levande mänskliga hjärnan. Ett internationellt samarbete med forskare vid MultiPark, Lunds universitet, har gjort det möjligt att upptäcka förhöjda nivåer av Galektin-3, ett protein som uttrycks i hjärnans immunceller. Resultaten publicerades i Acta Neuropathologica
