Receiving grants from the Swedish Research Council is viewed as a quality mark and one of the critical steps for young scientists to establish an independent research group. Recently, five of MultiPark’s research leaders were awarded funding for their projects. This year’s support from the Swedish Research Council encouraged MultiPark’s ambition to be a multidisciplinary research area. Projects ra

Patients with frontotemporal dementia often lack the ability to empathize. A study at Lund University and Karolinska Institutet has now shown that these patients do not show the same brain activity as healthy individuals when they witness the pain of others, a finding that it is hoped will increase understanding of this specific dementia disease. This is an important piece of the puzzle now fallin

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

What role does an inflammatory protein have in disease development? Which neuronal circuits cause different symptoms? How may diabetes affect Parkinson’s disease? Can motor signs be identifies early in individuals at risk for the disease? And how should patients in very advanced disease stages be treated to maintain their quality of life? These questions may soon have answers thanks to several ong

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt
