Structural and functional investigation of the protein C19orf12 involved in the neurodegenerative disease MPAN
A doctoral student position is available to work with. Dr. Ana Messias. and. Prof. Michael Sattler. , at the . Institute of Structural Biology. Read more
Can transcranial ultrasound be used to change the course of neurodegenerative disease?
White matter impairments are a major component of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease(1,2). White matter is composed of neuronal axons and their encasing myelin; a lipid-rich material produced by the oligodendroglia. Read more
Assessing the Impact of Aggregation-Prone Proteins on the Mitochondrial-Metallome Interplay in a Novel 3D Spheroid Cholinergic Cell Model of Neurodegenerative Disease
Although showing diverse symptoms affecting cognition and movement, the brains of patients with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) display similar neuropathological features namely protein aggregation within the brain. Read more

Pain in Parkinson’s disease: unravelling the contribution of central and peripheral factors
Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 1% of people over the age of 60. Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the midbrain and is classically associated with motor symptoms.

Neuroinflammation, glial cell dysfunction & neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are often associated with chronic neuroinflammation and glial cell dysfunction that acts to exacerbate neuronal damage and loss of synapses. Read more
