Recent studies indicate that acquired brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, trigger potentially harmful responses that may lead to neurodegenerative pathology. “Acquired brain injuries and their links to neurodegeneration diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) collaborating across research groups to elucidate molecular processes that may mediate the relation between acquired bra

Thanks to the recent development of diagnostic tools based on blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s, it is possible to predict whether an individual will develop the disease. Therefore, MultiPark researchers gather across groups to investigate hidden opportunities and develop implementable tools also for other brain conditions with similar approaches. “Development and implementation of fluid biom

New research is underway at Lund University, led by Dr. Vivien Horvath, a postdoctoral researcher at Lund Stem Cell Center. Supported by a new grant from the Collaborative Center for X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP), Vivien aims to improve our understanding of XDP, a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by the recent insertion of a transposable element. Transposable elements, also known as '

Fredrik Nilsson defended his Ph.D. thesis on May 10, 2023. For the last four years, he has explored the use of patient-specific cells in cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease to identify strategies to safeguard these transplanted cells from disease-related degeneration. Now, he tells us about his findings, their potential implications for future therapies, and valuable insights and advi

One of Multipark's associated research groups has published a new study that reveals the role of astrocytes in the development of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Their findings, now in the journal Brain Communications, provide valuable insights into the cellular mechanisms of the disease and open up new possibilities for developing early diagnostics and potential interventions for patients with FTD

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

Researchers at Lund and Gothenburg Universities have successfully developed temporary, organic electrodes that can be seamlessly integrated into biological systems. The method, now published in Nature Communications, opens up a future where bioelectronics can be implanted in and removed from the body without surgery. Electrotherapy is a medical treatment method that uses electrical currents to sti

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo
