High-precision Sulfur & Selenium isotopic analysis: a novel approach for studying brain redox imbalance & diagnosing/prognosing neurological disorders? Ghent University
Neurologische aandoeningen (NDs) zoals de ziekte van Alzheimer, de ziekte van Parkinson en multiple sclerose gaan alle gepaard met verhoogde oxidatieve stress, gekoppeld aan de productie van reactieve zuurstofspecies (ROS). Onder gezonde omstandigheden zijn verschillende antioxidantmoleculen die zwavel of selenium bevatten betrokken bij het bewaren van het redoxevenwicht. Als gevolg van fysiologische veranderingen in de hersenen van patiënten ...

The conversational dialogue between them seems to decline. The loss of recognition and contact is the most difficult to bare. For the elderly adults, retrieval of proper names is a source of unease and distress. This naming deficit is an early symptom of patients coping with neurodegenerative ...
Genome instability in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. KU Leuven
In this project we are looking for the reasons of instability in the human genome that causes Alzheimer's disease and similar disorders through a single-cell approach.
