Idag lider cirka 20 000 svenskar av Parkinsons sjukdom men ännu finns bara symptomlindrande behandlingar. Genom en ny biobank får forskarna tillgång till 1 000 parkinsonpatienters genetiska profiler tillsammans med utförlig information om deras livsstil och sjukdomshistoria. – Jag är övertygad om att många forskare kommer att använda biobanken de närmsta åren, vilket kan leda till utvecklingen av

T-celler, antikroppar och antigen. Under det senaste året har vi alla genom livlig medierapportering fått lära oss mer om människans immunsystem. Att immunsystemet är fullkomligt nödvändigt för vår överlevnad är de flesta nog medvetna om. Men hur påverkar immunsystemet egentligen Parkinsons sjukdom, behövs det för att hålla våra hjärnor friska eller bidrar det till förvärrad sjukdom? Svaret på den

I en ny experimentell studie visar forskare hur alzheimerproteinet amyloid-beta ansamlas inuti nervcellerna och hur det felveckade proteinet sedan sprids från cell till cell via nervtrådar och fortplantar sig i en ond spiral. Alzheimerproteinet uppkommer inuti cellerna långt tidigare än de synliga extracellulära placken som bildas efterhand som sjukdomen fortskrider. Den aktuella studien bygger vi

Det är inte, som man tidigare trott, bara skador i nervbanorna som ligger bakom de typiska rörelseproblemen efter en hjärnskada eller stroke – hormoner som frigörs efter sådana skador verkar bidra på ett dramatiskt och tidigare helt okänt sätt. Det visar ny forskning från bland annat Lunds universitet. Resultaten tyder på att hormonblockerande preparat kan användas för att motverka rörelseprobleme

Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Ansamling av amyloid-beta kanske startar inuti nervcellerna. Nya möjligheter att studera strukturella förändringar före amyloida plack bildas. Fyra olika typer av Alzheimers sjukdom. Ett enkelt diagnosverktyg förutspår risken att utveckla sjukdomen. Och ett tvär-vetenskapligt samarbete mellan Region Skåne, Lunds kommun och läkemedelsindustrin för att underlätta tidigare diagnos och träffsäkrare pr
