Anders Lindroth, professor emeritus, has been published in DN Debatt together with Lars Tranvik, professor of limnology at Uppsala University. Lindroth and Tranvik argue that Sweden's net emissions of greenhouse gases are much higher than society expects. In the method that the UN uses to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted, lakes, watercourses and wetlands are not included. If these ar

A new study by 33 researchers questions the EU report on european forestry, which had a significant impact last year. In the study, data was misinterpreted which made volume of clearcutting to appear greater than it was, the researchers argue. Thomas Pugh, senior lecturer at our department, was interviewed by the magazine Extrakt, after having co-authored a study in which he and 32 other researche

Forest management in the climate debate is splitting the forest community of researchers, forest owners, organisations and companies. Which way is the right way to go to make forestry work to help to counteract climate change? Several of our researchers appear in this, and professor emeritus Anders Lindroth explains his view on today´s forest management. Swedish National television program Vetensk

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

A simpler method of analysing blood samples for Alzheimer’s disease has been tested in a large multicentre study, led by Lund University in Sweden. “This is a major step in bringing simple blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease into the healthcare system globally,” say the researchers behind the study. In brief:The blood-based marker (P-tau217) may start to change several years before the onset of Al

Meet our scientist Gesine Paul-Visse to learn what happens at the interface where the brain and the body meet: the blood-brain barrier. Here, a very specialized cell, the pericyte, protects the brain and responds strongly to disease. Gesine Paul-Visse leads Translational Neurology, one of MultiPark’s research groups. As both a neurologist and a researcher, she has focused on neurodegeneration for

Researchers at MultiPark have uncovered in mice how the protein TDP-43, known for its role in several neurodegenerative diseases, disrupts the hypothalamus, the brain’s key center for metabolic control. Their study sheds new light on the role of TDP-43 in metabolic and psychiatric symptoms shared across frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, and ALS – findings that could support the develo

An experimental study from Lund University reveals for the first time that different Parkinson’s medications affect brain activity in distinct ways. This could explain why some patients develop impulsive and compulsive behaviors as a result of their treatment. The findings have been published in NPJ Parkinson’s Disease. Upon receiving treatment for their motor symptoms, many patients with Parkinso

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism
