NIH research grant to study harmful proteins in the brain

Fluorescent tracer molecules developed by scientists at LiU will be used to develop new diagnostic methods in dementia. Peter Nilsson and researchers at Indiana University have now received a grant from the National Institutes of Health in the USA.

Chameleon molecules can see differences in plaque

The brain of a person with Alzheimer´s disease often contains several different types of amyloid plaque. This was shown in a study in which tracer molecules developed at LiU were used to study brain tissue from patients.

Molecular chameleons reveal bacterial biofilms

Molecules that change colour can be used to follow in real-time how bacteria form a protective biofilm around themselves. This new method may become significant both in medical care and the food industry, where bacterial biofilms are a problem.
