Several studies suggest that protein aggregation in the brain leads to neurodegenera-tive diseases. Two examples of this are seen in the neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the form of a-synuclein (a-syn) and amyloid-beta (Ab) plaques, respectively. However, an overlap of these pa-thologies has been observed in more than 50% of AD cases. This res

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o
