New source for the formation of nerve cells in the brain discovered

Tuesday, 1 June 2010

Neuherberg, 25.11.2009. The research group of Prof. Dr. Magdalena Götz at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich is another step in understanding of regeneration processes in the brain have succeeded. The researchers discovered progenitor cells that can form after injury to the cerebral cortex new glutamatergic neurons. Particularly in Alzheimer's degeneration plays a crucial role. From a possible control of the education or migration mechanism can be in the future may derive new therapeutic options. The results are published in the current issue of the prestigious journal Nature Neuroscience. "Read more: New Source for the formation of nerve cells in the brain discovered

Once on Mars and back

Thursday 20 May 2010

Excessive salt intake is to blame for high blood pressure - this thesis will examine researchers from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in a German-Russian cooperation project. In early June starts in Moscow to simulate an expedition to Mars, in which six subjects for the duration of 520 days in a narrow "space capsule" imprison lassen.Dabei they are hermetically sealed from the outside world, allowing the project to the researchers from Erlangen only: Only under these conditions can the amount of salt, which is to take six to control precisely. The experiment is the world's longest metabolism study in humans that has ever existed. "Read more: one to Mars and back

New detection method of stem cells in the brain - findings in Nature as "Research Highlight" published

Wednesday 19 May 2010

Only in recent years is well known that the brain has its own stem cells into adulthood. These stem cells can help repair brain damage and thus promote the recovery - for example after a stroke. Stem cells can be used for therapies not yet, because it has not been possible to make these cells in living brain visible. At the University Hospital of Cologne and the Max-Planck-Institute for Neurological Research scientists have now discovered, however, for the first time a possibility. Thus, they provide an important step on the way to therapy after a stroke.

Like a vacuum cleaner - Mechanical recanalization in stroke

Thursday 13 May 2010

Study by the University of Göttingen reported a new method of Interventional Neuroradiology
The comparison with the domestic appliance, but lags - the mode of action of the system is illustrated PENUMBRA but it very well. How to remove with a vacuum cleaner Göttingen neuroradiologists clot from the blood vessels of stroke patients. The study, whose results on the 91st German Congress of Radiology will be introduced, reports of experience with this innovative treatment method. In the 56 patients enrolled in the study could be reopened at about three-quarters of the cases the occluded vessel. The method can be used in certain patients with stroke and is in addition to the already established methods of treatment of acute stroke therapy another option dar.
