Alzheimer's Association recently released recommendations about using blood-based biomarkers to detect Alzheimer’s disease. The recommendations are based on research conducted by Oskar Hansson, one of MultiPark’s research group leaders. “Blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s are already improving the design of clinical trials, and they are very likely to revolutionize the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s

What is the best approach for treating Alzheimer's disease? Aducanumab is an amyloid beta-directed monoclonal antibody that targets the aggregated forms of amyloid beta found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. In May, Dr. Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren and Dr. Ruben Smith entertained young MultiParkers by debating the pros and cons of using it. Last summer, Aducanumab was approved by the

Researcher Patrik Vestin writes in a " news and views " article in Nature that the woody surfaces of trees may take up methane on a scale of global importance. This is a missing piece in the estimation of global methane budgets, and hence in climate models. Future research should involve not just stems and trunks, but also leaves and small branches to get a fuller picture. Forests play a crucial r

Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact on the global carbon cycle, is relatively unexplored with respect to ecosystem functions and impact on climate change. Now one of few in situ studies over a long period of time, 2010-2022, shows that the Sahel area has lost a lot of its power as a carbon sink during the time period examined. Africa, despite its large area and thus large impact o

Allowing nature to cover up after human activities, known as rewilding, has several benefits. It improves the resilience of ecosystems, increases biodiversity and favours the interaction between nature and society. This is according to a new study from Lund University. Rewilding is a method that aims to re-establish animal and plant species that have disappeared from a particular area. In a new st

From a room in the University Building, via AF-borgen and today’s Centre for Languages and Literature, to the current premises at Geocentrum. From being a small part of the Department of History to becoming two distinct academic directions. The story of the Department of Geography is full of twists and chapters—now documented in a new book by Jonas Åkerman. There are two people who, between them,

By analysing high-resolution data from a 10-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers in Lund, Sweden, have managed to gain new insights into three stars in the centre of the Milky Way. The stars turned out to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprises the researchers. In the study, which is published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Lund re

Down in the basement of the Department of Physics, the now world-famous short laser pulses are fired almost daily. This is home to Sweden’s cutting-edge research in attosecond physics. According to Per Eng-Johnsson, professor in atomic, molecular and optical physics, the research field is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift. The term “DIY” may appear to be an unlikely description of a high-

By utilising quantum mechanics, a quantum computer can solve computational problems that today's supercomputers cannot. But there are problems. As the circuits in quantum computers get bigger, they become more difficult to control. Now researchers have demonstrated a new way to construct quantum circuits for individual light particles. This could enable larger and more complex circuits - crucial t
