Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In order to drive a car, you need a good balance between accelerator and brake. The same applies to a part of the brain – the striatum - that controls our movements. Research at Lund University in Sweden has led to new findings on the interaction between the “accelerator” and the “brake” in the striatum. These finding

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
