Q: How are nanoproducts and nanomaterial recycled?A: Currently, products that contains nanomaterials are not recycled in any other way than all other products Regulations and policies for how to declare any nano-contents in a product are lacking. This means that at places (e g Sysav) where recycling is conducted, there is no way to know if there is any risk for occupational exposure of nanoparticl

Q: Is it expensive to manufacture nanoproducts?A: It depends a lot on what types of nanostructures that the product consists of, and what you mean by expensive.  Nanoparticles of mixed sizes, such as zink oxide for paint, can often be manufactured in large quantities. Modern microchips, in which the smallest structures are less than 10 nm, are expensive to manufacture, but the high value of the fi

Q: Are nanoparticles/nanotechnology dangerous for humans?A: The overarching purpose of nanotechnology is to create better circumstances for humans and environment. If the nano industry can grow, it can help us to solve the energy crisis, save the environment, and diagnose and cure adverse diseases. Nanotechnology can be used for cheap and easy water purification, available and cheap energy, faster

Microglial neuroinflammation The inflammatory response in the brain, neuroinflammation, is implicated in many brain disorders. Several studies suggest that neuroinflammation contributes to disease progression. Our main research focus is to investigate the role of neuroinflammation in the diseased and healthy brain. Microglia are the major immune cells in the brain. Therefore, the majority of our p

How running affects the brain cells Physical activity seems to be a promising preventive strategy to reduce the risk of developing certain brain disorders. Still, how exercise affects molecular processes in the brain is largely unknown. To determine the molecular effects of exercise in the brain, we use mouse models of different brain disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, an

How a physically active lifestyle affects the risk of developing brain disorders Physical activity has been pointed out as a promising preventive strategy to reduce the risk of  developing certain brain disorders. Nevertheless, the effect of having a physically active lifestyle on the risk of developing brain disorders may differ depending on sex, age, and other factors. We study how a physically

Investigating inflammation in the brain Neuroinflammation refers to the inflammatory response within the brain. Our main research focus is to investigate the role of neuroinflammation in the diseased and healthy brain. Microglia are the major immune cells in the brain. Therefore, the majority of our projects aim to explore the function of these cells and to determine how they contribute to health

An inflammatory protein inside the brain Transcriptomic studies strongly support the role of galectin-3 as an important molecule in neuroinflammation. Recently, our group demonstrated the key role of galectin-3 in Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Microglial function depends on the expression of inflammatory proteins.

Understanding the early stages of Alzheimer's disease is important for detecting the disease earlier and for finding effective treatments that can slow or even stop disease progression. Before the presence of plaques and neuronal loss in patient brains, subtle changes are taking place in normal, homeostatic processes, including neuroinflammation. We examine alterations in microglia in the early st

how brain cells interact Cell-to-cell communication is crucial for regulating cellular functions in response to the environment. To understand how this communication works is important if we want to influence the inflammatory response with novel treatments. We investigate the interactions between neurons and glial cells, particularly microglia, before the development of extensive plaque pathology.
