With over 15 research groups dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease research, MultiPark’s goal is to understand the origins of the disease, develop early diagnostics, and improve treatments. The multidisciplinary approach sheds light on the disease from several angles, bridging basic research with clinical investigations. Here are five projects. September is World Alzheimer’s Month. Globally, around 40

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder for which there are limited treatment options, and it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric diagnosis. A pilot study is now underway at Lund University in Sweden, where researchers are investigating whether psychedelic drugs have an effect on young patients with the disorder. Ward Five at the adult psychiatric clinic in Lund is

Three research groups at Lund University Diabetes Centre receive new project grants within precision medicine. The aim with the projects is to develop individualised treatment strategies that may benefit people with type 2 diabetes. One of the new projects will investigate whether it is possible to develop individualised treatment strategies for people with type 2 diabetes. The project EPIPREDIA i

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Higher dose cohort initiated after positive early safety evaluation in Parkinson's therapy. After a positive initial safety evaluation, the pioneering STEM-PD clinical trial has advanced to higher dose testing. STEM-PD is a first-in-human clinical trial testing a new investigational therapy for Parkinson’s disease aimed at replacing the dopamine cells lost to the disease with healthy ones derived

However, when the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam began, it was met with warmongering from countries downstream. Egypt in particular felt threatened by the dam, which would regulate the Nile,

Han har fått äran av att 1921 ha upptäckt insulinet. För nästan 2000 år sedan gav den turkiske läkaren Aretaios sjukdomen sitt namn. ”Det syns mig som om sjukdomen bör kallas diabetes – något som liknar ett vattenrör, därför att vätskan inte s
