Supported lipid bilayers are formed at a faster rate on light-guiding nanowires of high curvature than on conventional planar substrates, with single-vesicle resolution that proves their potential for studying relevant cellular phenomena. This is shown in a recent study by researchers Julia Valderas, Ruby Davtyan, Christelle Prinz, Emma Sparr, Peter Jönsson, Heiner Linke, and Fredrik Höök. “We des

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance and are used in electromagnets, antennas and power lines. Researchers have now studied a multifaceted superconductor that exhibits a so-called vortex lattice when exposed to a magnetic field. The discovery could revolutionise technological development. Smart superconductors are predicted to fundamentally change our every

New biomarkers can make Alzheimer’s disease easier to detect and diagnoses more accurate, which may be crucial as disease-modifying treatments are available. And the diagnostic toolbox could expand even further, predicts one of MultiPark’s newest research group leaders, who is working on an AI model designed to detect several different conditions linked to dementia from a single blood test. But Mu

Visual dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a feature of Alzheimer's disease. Yet the molecular basis of retinal changes had remained poorly defined, and no previous study has compared retinal and brain proteomes from the same individuals. Now, a study from MultiPark has mapped the proteins that are altered in the disease. The discoveries were recently published in Acta Neuropathologica. In a

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. How do you stop Alzheimer’s disease without a simple way to diagnose it? It’s a real chicken and egg problem, as I wrote last year on TGN. Discovering a treatment for Alzheimer’s requires lots of clinical trials for new drugs—but it’s difficult to enroll participants without a way to identify people who have the disea

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new study confirms that a simple blood test can reveal whether there is accelerating nerve cell damage in the brain. The researchers analysed neurofilament light protein (NFL) in blood samples from patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Recently published in JAMA Neurology, the study suggests that the NFL concentration

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene th

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In today’s JAMA Neurology, researchers led by Oskar Hansson, Lund University, Sweden, report how a fully automated immunoassay for plasma Aβ performed when they put it through its paces. Roche Diagnostic’s Elecsys system predicted Aβ-positive individuals with about 80 percent accuracy. That number improved by 5 percen
