Overview

Niklas Mattsson is affiliated with Lund University in Sweden and focuses primarily on medical research with an emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases. Their work spans multiple subfields including physiology, psychiatry and mental health, neurology, molecular biology, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

The main areas of research for Mattsson revolve around Alzheimer's disease and related cognitive impairments, with significant contributions to understanding neurological disease mechanisms and treatments. Their work also includes studies on functional brain connectivity and the application of advanced neuroimaging and medical imaging techniques. Furthermore, research interests extend into Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments.

Mattsson has published extensively, with recent notable papers including:

  • Discriminative Accuracy of Plasma Phospho-tau217 for Alzheimer Disease vs Other Neurodegenerative Disorders, 2020, JAMA
  • Blood phosphorylated tau 181 as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease: a diagnostic performance and prediction modelling study using data from four prospective cohorts, 2020, The Lancet Neurology
  • Plasma P-tau181 in Alzheimer's disease: relationship to other biomarkers, differential diagnosis, neuropathology and longitudinal progression to Alzheimer's dementia, 2020, Nature Medicine
  • Genetics of circulating inflammatory proteins identifies drivers of immune-mediated disease risk and therapeutic targets, 2023, Nature Immunology
  • Plasma phosphorylated tau 217 and phosphorylated tau 181 as biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: a retrospective diagnostic performance study, 2021, The Lancet Neurology

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Oskar Hansson, Sebastian Palmqvist, Erik Stomrud, Olof Strandberg, and Ruben Smith. These collaborations have contributed to a substantial volume of publications.

Mattsson's research has appeared often in the following journals and publication venues:

  • Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Brain
  • JAMA Neurology
  • Nature Medicine

Their contributions mainly focus on exploring biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, such as plasma phosphorylated tau proteins, and investigating the accuracy of these markers in diagnosis and prognosis. This work extends into understanding the relationships between biomarkers and neuropathology as well as differentiating Alzheimer's from other neurodegenerative disorders.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you’re considering a career in healthcare but not sure if medical school is right for you, there are several alternative online degrees and pathways that offer strong career prospects. For non-nurses seeking an accelerated route into nursing, direct entry msn programs online allow individuals with a non-nursing bachelor’s degree to become registered nurses while earning their MSN in less time.

Another excellent option is online bsn programs for non nurses, which help streamline the transition into a nursing career and are often more flexible for adult learners. For those interested in administrative roles, medical billing and coding schools online provide in-demand skills and the convenience of remote learning, sometimes with financial aid options.

Additionally, some aspiring nurses are drawn to nursing schools that don’t require teas, removing extra admissions barriers and making it easier to enter the field. Exploring these pathways can open doors to fulfilling, stable healthcare careers without needing a traditional MD.
