Neuroscientists and stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a research model that allows studying human hippocampal neurons, the brain cells primarily affected by Alzheimer’s disease pathology. The study has been published in Stem Cell Reports.Read the full article here.See also interview with Alzheimerfonden regarding the study.

A new blood test demonstrated remarkable promise in discriminating between persons with and without Alzheimer’s disease and in persons at known genetic risk may be able to detect the disease as early as 20 years before the onset of cognitive impairment, according to a large international study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and simultaneously presented at

Around 20,000 people have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in Sweden. Today, there is no imaging method of changes in the brain that are believed to cause the disease. Researchers at Skåne University Hospital and Lund University have received nearly SEK 7 million from the Michael J Fox Foundation to develop an imaging technique that can more accurately detect and track the development of Pa

Aducanumab was compared, in a blinded study, to three clinical-stage antibodies using chemical kinetics. The publication describes the use of chemical kinetic analysis to assess the mechanisms of action of four clinical stage anti-Aβ antibodies: aducanumab (Biogen), gantenerumab (Roche), bapineuzumab (Elan) and solanezumab (Eli Lilly). The results provide unique insights into potential correlation

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that validated biomarkers can reveal an individual’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Using a model that combines the levels of two specific proteins in the blood of those with mild memory impairment, the researchers are able to predict the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. The researchers have also developed an app that doctors can use to give

The brain has its own cleaning system that removes harmful substances while we sleep and protects it from diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Neuroscientists at Lund University in Sweden have now imaged the cleaning system in 3D, indicating that it is substantially more developed than previously thought. Read the full article here.

Dr Sanaz Gabery is one of 14 to receive Hjärnfonden's (Brain Foundation) stipend for postdoctoral researchers during 2019. Her project is focusing on white matter alterations in Huntington's disease. Earlier research has shown that grey matter is reduced in Huntington patients’ brains, which can be one explanation to these patients’ motor symptoms. Recent neuroimaging studies have shown that chang
