Peter Nilssonā€™s molecules shine a light on Alzheimerā€™s research

ā€œEven though Iā€™m a professor now, I still spend a lot of time in the lab, as I know that when Iā€™m working hands on, thatā€™s when I get the new ideas,ā€ says Peter Nilsson. He develops tracer molecules that are used in research into Alzheimerā€™s disease.

Tracer molecules can distinguish between very similar brain diseases

Two diseases that affect the brain, Parkinsonā€™s disease and multiple system atrophy, show the same characteristics. Scientists have now shown that tracer molecules developed at LiU can distinguish between these diseases.

New method gives hope in understanding Alzheimerā€™s disease

Scientists are now able to label proteins in the brains of mice who have a disease similar to Alzheimerā€™s disease. The new method allows the researchers to observe how harmful protein aggregates develop over a longer time period.
