Scientists at the DZNE have identified a group of proteins that help to regenerate damaged nerve cells. Their findings are reported in the journal “Neuron”.
Oxidative stress could be a driving force in the spreading of aberrant proteins involved in Parkinson’s disease. This is the result of recent studies by DZNE researchers.
This year’s “Hartwig Piepenbrock-DZNE Prize”, which is endowed with 60,000 euros, goes to the Munich biochemist and Alzheimer’s researcher Christian Haass.
The risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases with age. DZNE researcher Susanne Wegmann has uncovered a possible cause for this: Molecules involved in the disease, termed tau-proteins, spread more easily in the aging brain.
Six Helmholtz Centres - including the DZNE - will jointly research how patient data can be processed safely and efficiently. More information (German).
DZNE researchers have studied the regenerative capacity of zebrafish brain in single cell resolution with the aim of developing novel strategies against Alzheimer’s. Their findings are published in “Cell Reports”.
