New biomarkers can make Alzheimer’s disease easier to detect and diagnoses more accurate, which may be crucial as disease-modifying treatments are available. And the diagnostic toolbox could expand even further, predicts one of MultiPark’s newest research group leaders, who is working on an AI model designed to detect several different conditions linked to dementia from a single blood test. But Mu

Visual dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a feature of Alzheimer's disease. Yet the molecular basis of retinal changes had remained poorly defined, and no previous study has compared retinal and brain proteomes from the same individuals. Now, a study from MultiPark has mapped the proteins that are altered in the disease. The discoveries were recently published in Acta Neuropathologica. In a

One of MultiPark’s research groups led by Professor Johan Jakobsson has uncovered a previously unknown link between inflammatory responses and the activation of repetitive DNA elements in affected brain regions from Parkinson’s disease patients. Their findings reveal underexplored disease processes and raise hopes of identifying future therapeutic targets. Transposable elements, sometimes called “

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How do you stop Alzheimer’s disease without a simple way to diagnose it? It’s a real chicken and egg problem, as I wrote last year on TGN. Discovering a treatment for Alzheimer’s requires lots of clinical trials for new drugs—but it’s difficult to enroll participants without a way to identify people who have the disea

Alzheimer’s researcher Sebastian Palmqvist has been awarded USD 19.4 million (SEK 190 million) from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its National Institute on Aging (NIA). The funds are to be used to develop a clinical test based on the biomarker MTBR-tau243. The goal is to develop an FDA-approved blood test within five years that will benefit patients. “It’s a great pleasure to

Both normal aging and Alzheimer’s change how different brain regions communicate with each other. But a new study from Lund University reveals that these alterations follow distinct patterns where shifts linked to disease are distinguishable from normal aging. And the alterations seen in Alzheimer’s patients appear early, even before cognitive symptoms emerge. The discoveries are published in Natu

Tissue-friendly electrodes, developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden, are now undergoing clinical trials at Skåne University Hospital. Using 30 electrodes, each thinner than a strand of hair, the researchers aim to investigate the possibility of more precise stimulation and mapping of the brain prior to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Our movement patterns, among other things, are contr
