  • Extracellular Vesicles in Neurodegenerative Diseases (EViND)

    13 May 2024 8:30am–5:30pm
     
    in Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research Symposium
    This EViND symposium aims to underscore the significance of research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and broader brain functions. The symposium will discuss the role of EVs in the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Prion disease.

  • Should we be using mice to study Alzheimer’s disease?

    Published on: 31 May 2023
    Animal models have been fundamental to advancing our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, but their value is increasingly being questioned. Professor Jürgen Götz and Dr Pranesh Padmanabhan present their perspective on animal models in Alzheimer's research.
