Neuroinflammation plays a significant role in neurodegenerative disorders. That is why MultiPark researchers collaborates across research teams. ”Neuroinflammatory pathways in neurodegenerative diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) to elucidate molecular and genetic aspects in a rapidly growing research area. Malin Wennström explains how she convenes the joint effort. Can you briefly des

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified a new layer of gene regulation mediated by changes in ribonucleic acid metabolism downstream of major oncogenes. This study, published now in the Molecular Cell journal, explains aggressive clinical features observed in triple negative breast cancers. A collab

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o

This year’s largest grant from the IngaBritt och Arne Lundbergs Forskningsstiftelse goes to Vinay S. Swaminathan at Lund University. He is awarded five million SEK for his research on how healthy breast tissue develops into tumors and spreads. Vinay S. Swaminathan’s research group has developed 3D models that mimics the tumor microenvironment in the laboratory. The technology opens new opportuniti

Two distinguished researchers at the Department of Physics have been promoted to professors at Lund University: David Silvermyr, specialising in high-energy heavy-ion physics, and Rainer Timm, an expert in surface physics. Their research spans from the most extreme states of matter to atomic-level interfaces in next-generation electronics. David Silvermyr – Exploring the most extreme states of mat

When electrons move within a molecule or semiconductor, this occurs on unimaginably short time scales. A Swedish-German has now made significant progress toward a better understanding of these ultrafast processes: The researchers were able to track the dynamics of electrons released from the surface of zinc oxide crystals using laser pulses with spatial resolution in the nanometre range and at pre

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in producing nanotubes from a single building block using so-called molecular self-recognition. The tube can also change shape depending on the surrounding environment. The results can contribute to the future development of transport channels for drugs through

Many of the University’s researchers are publishing fantastic research that has been done with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). Many are curious to test out AI to improve, simplify or speed up at least a part of the research process. At the same time, many are asking “what am I allowed to use AI for?” The starting point when using AI in research is to follow the basic principles of

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

Every person ages, yet only some develop Parkinson’s Disease, and scientists still don’t know why. A new international effort involving a research team from Lund University aims to uncover what makes certain aging brains more vulnerable than others, focusing on the epigenetic changes that accompany growing older. Their work is supported by a new 81 million SEK grant from the Aligning Science Acros

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers now believe that epigenetic changes, determining which genes are active and which are not, are involved in a number of conditions. These include everything from addiction and depression to cancer and blood disorders. David Bryder. “The research community has long focused on DNA alone. But the genome in its

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ
