Researchers from CNC-UC have identified new gut biomarkers that could enable early detection of Parkinson's disease. 👏 👏 Through collaboration with specialists in molecular biology and neurology, the team discovered inflammatory markers and the presence of alpha-synuclein in the gut, which appear long before the disease progresses to the brain. 🧠 This finding indicates that routine procedures, such as colonoscopies with biopsy, could be the key to identifying Parkinson's disease at an early stage, potentially slowing down its progression. This study opens the door to preventive strategies and new therapies that target Parkinson's disease in its early stages, offering hope of better outcomes for patients.

Inducing Neuronal Differentiation in SH-SY5Y Cells with Retinoic Acid Our research is focused on investigating the efficacy of retinoic acid in inducing neuronal differentiation within SH-SY5Y cell lines. By carefully manipulating experimental conditions, we aim to optimize the differentiation process and characterize the resulting neuronal phenotypes. These findings will contribute to our understanding of neuronal development and provide a valuable in vitro model for studying neurodegenerative diseases. #neuroscience #cellbiology #SHSY5Y #differentiation #retinoicacid #invitromodel #research

☑️ *READ DESCRIPTION BELOW:* Schematic of the establishment of Patient-derived sarcoma organoids (PDSOs) and their applications. Sarcoma cells obtained from patients are grown into tumor organoids using scaffold-free, scaffold-based, and xenograft-based techniques. These patient-derived organoids realistically replicate the biological, histological, and functional characteristics of the primary tumor. By accurately recapitulating the complexity of the tumor microenvironment, PDSOs provide a promising approach to unravel sarcoma biology, discover novel therapeutic targets, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes https://lnkd.in/et9kTiwN #Gesundheit #Bildung #Fuehrung #Coaching #Mindset #Motivation #Gehirn #Neuroscience #Psychologie #Persoenlichkeitsentwicklung #Kindheit #KeyNoteSpeaker #Humangenetik #Biochemie #Neuroleadership #Ernaehrung #Transformation #Stress #Demografie #Gender #Age #interkulturelleKompetenz #Epigenetik #Veraenderung #EmotionaleIntelligenz #Change #Gesellschaft #Organisationsentwicklung #Philosophie #Beratung # Quantum

🌟 Unlocking the Secrets of Brain Regeneration: Lessons from the Axolotl 🧠✨ A 2022 study published in Science takes an in-depth look at the axolotl, an extraordinary creature known for its remarkable brain regeneration capabilities. Unlike mammals, the axolotl can repair its brain following injury by leveraging a diverse set of neurons and stem cells. 🔬 Key findings include: The axolotl telencephalon contains a wide range of cell types, crucial for regeneration. Neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons) allows for both homeostatic maintenance and repair of brain tissue, a process far more advanced than in mammals like mice. The study shows how conserved cell types across species could unlock potential insights into brain repair for humans. Understanding how this process works in axolotls could one day lead to groundbreaking treatments for brain injuries in humans. 🧬 #Neuroscience #Regeneration #BrainResearch #Axolotl #BioByPriti #InnovationInScience

#ACROHighlights [Featured Product] 🌟 Dual Roles of Extracellular Vesicles in Neurodegeneration 🌟 Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, are tiny cellular messengers that influence a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Recent research reveals their dual role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), and ALS. On one hand, EVs can cross the blood-brain barrier, transporting harmful proteins between neurons and potentially speeding up disease progression. On the other hand, EVs derived from mesenchymal stem cells can promote neurogenesis, protect neurons, reduce Aβ deposition, and inhibit BACE1 activity, offering a potential slowing of AD progression. 🔗 Explore Aneuro to Empower Your Research: https://smpl.is/99okr #Neuroscience #Neurodegeneration #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #ALS #ExtracellularVesicles #Research #Biotech #Aneuro #ACROBiosystems

Clinostar’s proprietary clinostat tech supports more physiological in vitro model development. Scientists at Drexel University in Philadelphia have compared the morphology of forebrain organoids cultured in the ClinoStar and in standard orbital shaker methods. See some of the results here: * Absence of Central Necrosis: The ClinoStar promotes the growth of healthy organoids without a central necrotic core. The low shear stress conditions and efficient diffusion of nutrients and oxygen in the ClinoStar prevent the formation of a necrotic core, allowing long-term growth and maintenance of organoids that better mimic the physiological state and functionality of the brain. * Enhanced Morphology: Dr. Qiang’s team at Drexel University found that dorsally patterned forebrain organoids developed in the ClinoStar had distinct loops or rosettes of neuroepithelial cells after 30 days, which were not present in organoids grown using standard orbital shaker methods. This indicates that the ClinoStar supports more complex and accurate brain-like development. * Better Cellular Symmetry and Health: After 45 days of culture in the ClinoStar, the organoids showed no signs of necrotic core formation and maintained a healthy population of neuronal and non-neuronal support cells throughout the organoid. Additionally, cortical plate-like symmetry with migratory early neurons was observed, which was not seen in organoids grown using orbital shakers. This suggests that the ClinoStar enables more physiologically relevant development. See the results in the document. #ClinoStar #OrbitalShakers #3DCellCulture #Organoids #Neuroscience
