16. SNAP-25 and Cdk5 as exocytotic regulators : consequences for synaptic function and insulin release
Abstract : The process by which cells release substances through fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane is called exocytosis. Regulated exocytosis needs to be tightly controlled in order to respond to the large variation in stimuli and demands for release of neurotransmitters, peptides and hormones. READ MORE

17. Dementia Proteomics
Abstract : The term dementia encompass a number of conditions arising as a consequence of tissue degeneration in the brain. This degeneration is caused by molecular events occurring on a cellular level including inflammation, defective waste disposal and accumulation of insoluble proteins and peptides. READ MORE

18. Visualising neurodegeneration in the living brain : Preclinical evaluation of PET radioligands
Abstract : With an ageing population, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) escalates yearly. Pathological hallmarks of AD and PD include aggregated proteins and synaptic dysfunction. READ MORE

19. Proteomics Studies of Subjects with Alzheimer’s Disease and Chronic Pain
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the major cause of dementia, affecting more than 50 million people worldwide. Chronic pain is long-lasting, persistent pain that affects more than 1.5 billion of the world population. READ MORE

20. Investigation of the intercellular transmission of α-synuclein, amyloid-β and TDP-43
Abstract : Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are disorders characterized by the progressive deposition of proteinaceous inclusions throughout the brain in a predictable manner. Each disease is described by the involvement of different misfolded and aggregated proteins (AD, amyloid-β and tau; PD, α-synuclein; ALS and FTLD, TDP-43) that spread between anatomically connected brain regions, causing cell death in previously healthy regions.
