#Neurodegenerative diseases, including #Alzheimer’s, #Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), result from the progressive decline of #brain and nervous system functions, primarily due to aging.

In 2024, we published a review (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2024.1386735) on miRNAs in #neurodegenerative diseases (including #Parkinson's Disease, #Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, #Huntington's Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). The goal was to collect miRNAs which have statistically significant regulations, based on data from reviewed publications.
With the data, we aim to identify patterns that could aid in detecting these diseases. This is part of our #NeuroMir project (2022–2025).
Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a gene-editing treatment for #prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal #neurodegenerative condition.

Protein aggregation is typical of various #neurodegenerative diseases such as #Alzheimer’s, #Parkinson’s and #prion diseases such as #Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.

We will be presenting 3 posters at the #DGKMH in November 2024, #senftenberg
1: "Early detection of #neurodegenerative diseases by multiplex analysis of specific biomarkers using fluorescent microparticles"
2: "Behavioral Differences in Hybridization and Melting Profiles Following Covalent vs. Non-Covalent Oligonucleotide Coupling to #Microbeads via Crosslinkers and Biotin"
3: "#Cannabidiol Does Not Cause DNA Double Strand Breaks in a Human Liver Derived Cell Model"
https://www.sciencealert.com/study-of-500000-medical-records-links-viruses-with-alzheimers-again-and-again “Strikingly, #vaccines are currently available for some of these viruses, including influenza, shingles (varicella-zoster), and pneumonia," the researchers wrote in their paper published last year.
"Although vaccines do not prevent all cases of illness, they are known to dramatically reduce hospitalization rates. This evidence suggests that vaccination may mitigate some risk of developing #neurodegenerative disease."
“The ATC is a physical location that promotes and educates visitors on various #AdaptiveTechnologies that are available to enrich the lives of those with #Neurodegenerative diseases. This space serves as an exploration center for families to discover ways to incorporate adaptive technology into their lives, to explore possibilities for independence. Students and clinicians also find value in learning about technologies, devices, and tools that enhance lives.”
