Peter Nilsson’s molecules shine a light on Alzheimer’s research

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

Tracer molecules can distinguish between very similar brain diseases

Two diseases that affect the brain, Parkinson’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 Alzheimer’s disease

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