The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Korta avstånd mellan laboratoriet och kliniken, en identitet som är knuten till avdelningen och inte bara till respektive forskargrupp, och lunchsamtal om allt mellan himmel och jord. Det är några av skälen till att det gått så bra för Avdelningen för klinisk genetik, menar tre av dess professorer. Framgångarna avspeglar sig både i anslag, forskartjänster finansierade av Cancerfonden, Barncancerfo
