In the early 1950s, no one knew what caused Parkinson's disease. Then, Arvid Carlsson's discovery of dopamine opened the door to world-leading transplantations for Parkinson's patients. Thanks to the pioneering basic research at MultiPark, stemcell-derived neural cells can now be tested in a clinical trial for the first time. In Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in an area of the brain that con

Genetics are one of the keys to understanding neurodegenerative disease. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in genetics gather across research groups. Genetics of neurodegenerative diseases is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to unravel the genetics behind diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Andreas Puschmann tells about how h

See the recent article with Daniel Conley in Nature Climate Change on Connecting the Seas of Norden.The Nordic Seas are highly sensitive to environmental change and have been extensively monitored and studied across a broad range of marine disciplines. For these reasons, the Nordic seas may serve as a pilot area for integrated policy development in response to ongoing climate change.Read more..

In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean without oxygen has gone up more than four-fold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. Protecting sensitive species, controlling eutrophication and climate change and improving monitoring are some solutions to the problem, according to researchers from, among ot

Silicon has a crucial effect on the planet’s climate A comprehensive research project on the mineral silicon and the anonymous climate heroes in the oceans, diatoms, is now starting. Every day, the tiny diatoms, which are a type of phytoplankton, absorb enormous amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. And when they die, they take the carbon with them.
