Turning scientific knowledge into solutions that improve people’s lives is the ultimate goal of research. But the path from novel scientific data to an innovation that may impact health care is long; many promising ideas never get a fair chance. For 16 years, MultiPark Innovation has supported researchers in their first efforts in transforming discoveries into inventions that may benefit patients

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

The symptom profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases often overlap, and diagnosing age-related cognitive symptoms is complex. A patient may have multiple overlapping disease processes in the brain at the same time. Now, researchers at Lund University have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect several neurodegenerative diseases from a single blood sample. The study is

Simpler diagnosis using a smell test, mapping brain circuits behind symptoms linked to Parkinson’s, and significant funding for advanced gene therapies. And a recently completed clinical trial with promising results for stem cell-based transplantation in Parkinson’s patients. These are five examples from the strategic research area MultiPark over the past year. MultiPark conducts multidisciplinary

The risk of neurodegenerative diseases increases markedly after a traumatic brain injury – particularly following repeated concussions. Professors Niklas Marklund and Tadeusz Wieloch have now received SEK 3.4 million from The ALBORADA Trust for their research into preventing dementia after brain injury. Brain injury is a major but often underestimated public health problem that particularly affect

A landmark study led from Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lose nerve

Approximately one in five Swedish young adults (18–25) have experienced recurring problems with paying their bills in the past year. The group with recurring payment problems tend to make more unplanned purchases, are less likely to have a social network to discuss their financial problems with, and are less likely to have friends that could help them financially, than those who do not experience

Must greater prosperity necessarily lead to a greater carbon footprint and increased greenhouse gas emissions? “In theory, no, but in practice this seems to be the case”, says researcher Max Koch from Lund University in Sweden. His study of 138 countries is the first ever to take a global approach to the connections between growth, prosperity and ecological sustainability. The study was recently p
