Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer’s disease in old age
Alzheimer’s disease, an irreversible form of dementia, is considered the world’s most common neurodegenerative disease. The prime risk factor for Alzheimer’s is age, although it remains unclear why. It is known that the insulating layer around nerve cells in the brain, named myelin, degenerates with more

Schizophrenia drug as new therapy against dementia
MHH neurophysiologist demonstrates the effect of the antipsychotic amisulpride on harmful protein deposits in nerve cells of the brain. A clinical trial will investigate the drug's efficacy in dementia patients. A common feature of many neurodegenerative diseases are pathological protein deposits in more

Ultra-long protein fibrils give clues on dementia risk
During the course of Alzheimer's disease, protein fibrils appear in the spinal fluid of affected individuals. Empa researchers, together with the Department of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, have now visualized the wide spectrum of protein aggregates from oligomers, protofibrils t more

Chaperones - folding helpers in the cell
Nothing works without the correct form: For most proteins, there are millions of ways in which these molecules, composed of long chains of amino acids, can be folded - but only one way is the right one. Researchers in the department "Cellular Biochemistry" at the Max Planck Institute for Biochem ... more
