Stanley Prusiner was awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering prions and elucidating the underlying principles of their mode of action. Prions, typically harmless proteins, can transform into unstable conformations, leading to harmful particles, and causing deadly dementia-related brain diseases in humans and animals. His discovery offers crucial insights into the biological mechanisms of dementia-related diseases like Alzheimer's, paving the way for drug development and new medical treatment strategies.

Congratulations to NTT RESEARCH MEI Lab Scientist Yukiko Fukuda on her work in further developing the cardiovascular bio #digitaltwin, with a focus on incorporating physiological functions and drug effects, being published in the American Journal of Physiology. Dr. Fukuda sheds light on the dynamic characteristics of renal hemodynamics and their relationship with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in a recent NTT RESEARCH blog post. The renal system plays a vital role in blood pressure regulation, and her study provides valuable insights into its dynamic characteristics that push the boundaries of integrating physiological functions and drug effects into #cardiovascular bio digital twin models.

Memory making and breaking. Science cafe Wageningen, 17 april Loburg. Did you ever wonder about your earliest memories? Likely these did not start till several years after your birth. How come? What does it take to make memories and be able to retrieve these even many years past the events? What retains certain memories whereas from many other moments in life we hardly remember anything? Even memories that were ones very vivid can fade as we age: as a result of harmless ‘forgetfulness’ or more severely due to a degenerative disease of our neurological circuit. In this Science Café we explore the state-of-the art knowledge on memory making and breaking. We dive into the human brain to explore how memories are being made and lost which can enable improved diagnostics and treatment of brain degenerative disorders. Our first speaker, Dr. Abdel Rayan, will explain how memories are formed, retained and retrieved in the human brain. Our second speaker, Dr. Evgenia Salta, will discuss how brain functioning gets impaired and memories lost upon neurodegradation and how this process can be slowed down or potentially even be reversed. https://lnkd.in/eeP4YDrD

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 #𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: A groundbreaking study has uncovered a critical brain-gut connection that links psychological states to changes in the gut microbiome, with profound implications for immune function and stress-related health conditions. The research, now published in the journal Cell, reveals how stress-sensitive brain circuits influence the composition of gut bacteria through Brunner’s glands in the small intestine. It sheds light on the intricate mechanisms by which mental states can impact physical health, pointing to new possibilities for therapeutic intervention, for example against inflammatory bowel disease.

Postdoctoral Researcher | Neuro-degeneration & Neuro-oncology | 8+ years experience in experimental planning, project management and pre-clinical research
Very happy to see this study (part of my PhD work) finally published, elucidating the N-glycome profile of the human Parkinsonian brain. Great collaborative with Radka Fahey (Saldova), Martina Marchetti-Deschmann and Richard Drake, under the supervision of Prof Abhay Pandit #WorldParkinsonsDay
Today is World Parkinson's Day Professor Abhay Pandit, Scientific Director of CÚRAM and project lead, discusses the work presented will act as a valuable resource for subsequent investigations into the impact of brain glycans on neurodegeneration. Researchers at CÚRAM, the SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices based at University of Galway, together with collaborators at the Medical University of South Carolina and Vienna University of Technology, have for the first time identified critical targets in the molecular signature of Parkinson's disease across different stages of the disease's progression. More than 10 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, making it the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease.

I am glad to share my image on JGP February cover. https://lnkd.in/evvp2ivA ON THE COVER The capillaries (green) of cardiac ventricles weave through the tightly packed myocytes (blue) and are intimately adorned with pericytes (red) along their lengths. These pericytes also send processes ("microtubes") which bridge the gap to other nearby capillary segments by extending intimately through and around myocytes. In this issue, Longden and Lederer hypothesize that the cellular and molecular organization of at least these three cell types plays a crucial role in orchestrating blood flow regulation in the microcirculation of the heart, brain, and other organs via the process of electro-metabolic signaling.
