  2. 1. Stem cell-based models to study cellular alterations in Parkinson’s Disease

    Author : Margarita Chumarina; Stamcellslaboratoriet för sjukdomsmodellering i det centrala nervsystemet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; stem cells; IPSCs; dopaminergic neurons; oligodendrocytes; omics;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative movement disorder. Despite investigative efforts into the pathogenesis of the disease, the aetiology and mechanism of PD remains unknown, with multiple factors and cellular pathways known to play a part. READ MORE

  4. 2. Oligodendroglial (dys)function in alpha-synucleinopathies

    Author : Carla Azevedo; Stamcellslaboratoriet för sjukdomsmodellering i det centrala nervsystemet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Synucleinopathies; iPSCs; oligodendrocytes; alpha-synuclein; HLA; cell maturation; immunoproteasome;

    Abstract : The complexity of a-synucleinopathies, which include multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), is not entirely understood. It is known that pathological accumulation of a-synuclein (a-syn) into proteinaceous aggregates is a cellular hallmark of these diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies and the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Evangelos Konstantinidis; Martin Ingelsson; Anna Erlandsson; Vilmantas Giedraitis; Magnus Essand; Harald Steiner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; gene editing; CRISPR Cas9; amyloid-beta; astrocytes; neurons; iPSCs; electrophysiology;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Whereas the AD brain features plaques of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of tau, the PD brain is characterized by Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites containing α-synuclein (αSyn). READ MORE

  6. 4. The physiological processing of Alzheimer-associated amyloid beta precursor protein in human and animal-derived neuronal models

    Author : Tugce Munise Satir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; APP; Aβ; human iPSCs; cortical neurons; BACE1; PSEN1; neuronal activity; neuronal differentiation;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive impairment due to the loss of structure and/or function of neurons, and amyloid plaques composed of aggregated-amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides, primarily species ending at the amino acid 42 (Aβ42), are one of the major neuropathological hallmarks of AD. Aβ peptides of different lengths are produced by sequential cleavage of amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) by α-, β- and γ- secretases. READ MORE

  7. 5. Increasing the interpretability of Alzheimer-related biomarkers: cell- and cerebrospinal fluid-based studies with focus on neurogranin

    Author : Faisal Hayat Nazir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; biomarker; neurogranin; APP; human iPSCs; CSF;

    Abstract : Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing field of research. A particularly vibrant field during recent years has been biomarkers for synaptic dysfunction. READ MORE
