In people with Parkinson’s disease iron distributes in an unusual way over the brain. This is the result of a study by researchers of the DZNE Magdeburg.

Study suggests zebrafish might teach us how to tackle Alzheimer’s disease. Research group led by Caghan Kizil at the DZNE report on these findings in the journal “Cell Reports”.

DZNE, ChemDiv, Inc. and Torrey Pines Investment jointly announced today an agreement initiating a Research and Development collaboration targeting pathways and molecular mechanisms underlying neurological health and disease.

Scientists of the DZNE have succeeded in releasing a molecular brake that prevents the regeneration of nerve connections. Researchers led by neurobiologist Frank Bradke report on these findings in the journal Neuron.

The report which is based on laboratory studies suggests that the drug “Rolofylline” could possibly alleviate learning and memory problems associated with aggregating Tau proteins.

Learning from each other, joint research and as such make new therapies against childhood and senile dementia more tangible – this is what the DZNE and the NCL Foundation, now want to push ahead.

Loss of neuronal contacts impairs nerve cells that control activity of the hippocampus. Martin Fuhrmann and co-workers report on these findings in “Neuron”.

Today Joachim Gauck and his partner Daniela Schadt informed themself about the diverse research at DZNE.

Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research and the University of Tübingen have identified proteins in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid that reflect nerve cell damage.

A delegation of about a dozen UW-Madison research scientists will travel to Bonn and will share insights and information on the increasingly prevalent disease.
