Understanding amyloid beta and Alzheimer’s disease: the key to helping AD patients
Efforts to prevent or treat Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) by targeting Amyloid beta (Aβ) assemblies should be continued, but the strategies should be altered dramatically.
The WATCH project: Tanycytes in health and disease
The WATCH project aims to elucidate how tanycytes mediate physiological processes by acting as gatekeepers between the brain and body, how their dysfunction is involved in various disorders and age-related impairments, and what can be done to prevent or correct these.
