This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Systemic inflammation impairs perivascular CSF distribution, according to our latest discoveries published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation. The exchange of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seems to be crucial for the clearance of waste products from the brain. Previous research shows that impaired CSF clearance is associ

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. ECT, or electroconvulsive therapy, is an effective treatment for severely depressed patients. However, many patients are worried about side effects, especially long-term memory difficulties. Researchers at Lund University have investigated whether ECT affects the levels of the Alzheimer's-related protein beta-amyloid

Having a physically active lifestyle may significantly reduce your risk to develop anxiety disorders. This is the conclusion from our new study following almost 400 000 Swedes, whereof half of them were skiers. And the physical performance level also seems to matter. Mental health issues increase in society and in an effort to mitigate this problem, the Swedish government aims to facilitate physic

Since 24 February, nothing has been the same for Ukrainian researchers. In this urgent situation, we have been able to offer one of them a Ph.D. position. We welcome our new colleague, Nadia Kravchenko, who is eager to share her thoughts about how we may all contribute to this period to be as constructive as possible, despite the threatening circumstances. It is impossible not to be touched by the

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos was recently recruited as a postdoc in our lab. He thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. Earlier this spring, he defended
Communication is key in research. Recently, our lab had a team-building day at the beach. And a simple Lego game can tell very much about the reasons behind the reproducibility crisis in science. Getting together to communicate new ideas and build relationships is critical for maintaining a vital research group. That is why our lab arranges a team-building once a year, together with the experiment

Collaboration is the most efficient way of moving science forward. That is why our research group initiated a network inviting all researchers interested in physical activity investigations at Lund University. Since 2022, we coordinate CoPARLU, a new center of physical activity research at Lund University. Having a physically active lifestyle has been associated with a broad range of health benefi

Megg Garcia-Ryde’s thesis sheds light on the early pathological processes in Alzheimer’s disease and the interplay between neurons and microglia as the disease evolves. October 10, she defends her thesis. Now, she gives her perspectives from a close collaboration between the experimental neuroinflammation laboratory and the experimental dementia research group and how she brings together the exper
Nailing one's doctoral thesis by simply nailing it up for viewing is an old tradition that possibly dates back to Martin Luther. The tradition has lost its former glory but is still a reason to invite people to a party. Here, Megg Garcia Ryde talks about her nailing. How was the actual nailing? It took some time but went fairly smoothly! I’m the handy person in my household, so I brought my awl to

Microglia govern the brain and protect it, but in the wrong context, they can also cause harm. Their activity needs to be well timed and balanced, or things go off course. When they get stuck in the wrong gear, microglia can drive neurodegeneration. Scientists in the Neuroinflammation research group believe that by targeting a protein called Galectin-3, microglial states can be tuned. "We previous
