    Abstract : Demensvården i Sverige och i andra delar av världen har på olika sätt varit i fokus de senaste åren där man påtalat behovet att utveckla metoder och riktlinjer för hur vården ska bedrivas. Detta för att möta den växande andelen äldre människor som också utvecklar demenssjukdomar. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cholinergic and dopaminergic aspects of dementia in Parkinson's disease: postmortem neuropathological findings and modeling of cognitive dysfunction in rodents

    Author : Helene Hall; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems (BRAINS); []

  7. 5. Targeting Early Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease in a Transgenic Model

    Author : Anna Lord; Lars Nilsson; Lars Lannfelt; Frida Ekholm Pettersson; Thomas Bayer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Abstract : The Arctic mutation causes early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and makes amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides more prone to form Aβ protofibrils. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the mechanisms of the Arctic mutation in vivo, and to use transgenic models to determine the role of early intermediates of Aβ aggregation, like protofibrils, in the pathogenesis.
