Kajsa Brolin explores how our genes and environment affect the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. March 27, she defends her Ph.D. project partly based on MultiPark’s biobank sample collection. Here, she tells about the newly discovered genetic risk factor that might be specific to people in the southern part of Sweden. And is coffee really protective? Tell us about your research! “My research

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protei

Lunds universitet gör en unik satsning på att rekrytera internationella toppforskare. Hjälp oss att få lovande kollegor från hela världen att välja Lund. Den senaste tiden har möjligheterna att forska och att få universitetsutbildning kraftigt försämrats i många länder. Detta beror dels på nedskärningar av anslag och dels på att skärpta invandringsregler har gjort det svårare för universitet att t

Efter ett decennium av protokollutveckling och förberedelser har MultiParks forskare äntligen lanserat den kliniska fasen av STEM-PD-studien. Nyligen transplanterades dopamin-producerande celler som genererats från embryonala stamceller till den första parkinsonpatienten på Lunds universitetssjukhus. Flera av MultiParks forskningsledare har centrala roller i projektet. Hösten 2022 godkände Läkemed

Cirkulär ekonomi har under senare år blivit en ledstjärna inom industri- och miljöpolitik. Men hur bra är det egentligen? Definitionen av en cirkulär ekonomi är oklar och saknar substans, menar en grupp forskare från Lunds universitet och KTH. Det riskerar bli en skenlösning om vi inte slutar tala om det som en universallösning på allehanda miljöproblem. Cirkulär ekonomi har blivit en känd och erk

I mitten på januari drabbade demonstranter och poliser ihop i byn Lützerath i Tyskland efter man under en lång tid ockuperat byn i försök att förhindra bygget av en ny kolgruva. Ockupationen är bara ett exempel på den alltmer utbredda kampen för att försvara naturen, enligt Lundaforskaren Torsten Krause som studerar olika sorters miljöaktivism runt om i världen i ett nytt forskningsprojekt. – Viss

The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration research group is made up of about 15 researchers focusing on chronic lung disease. The group’s work includes the development of different methods to study disease models for conditions such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis.

The virus winter season has struck – and COVID-19 is still part of everyday life. However, unlike during the pandemic, we now know more about how it spreads through the air we breathe. Research from Lund University in Sweden shows that it only takes a few minutes in the same room as an infected person to catch the virus. The aerosol researchers mapped the infectiousness of the virus in some forty
