Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the human motor system, leading to muscle weakness and ultimately paralysis.

While most forms of ALS occur in adulthood, mutations in the gene termed Serine Palmitoyltransferase Long Chain Base Subunit 1 (SPTLC1) arise in children.

Psychedelic drugs, known for their profound effects on perception, are showing promise as rapid and long-lasting treatments for depression.

While it is the immune system that damages the brain in MS, the way this damage is caused involves many processes.

Recent findings suggest that the gut and brain are closely connected, and this link may be important in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

A type of brain cancers called “diffuse gliomas” currently lacks effective treatments.

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the pathogenic amyloid-beta protein accumulates in the brain parenchyma and vessel walls.

This project explores how people living with dementia and their caregivers create clever do-it-yourself (DIY) solutions to make everyday tasks at home easier and safer.

The increasing prevalence of anxio-depressive disorders worldwide suggests that current therapeutic strategies are insufficient in tackling this global health concern.

Apathy (reduced goal-directed behaviour) is common in persons with dementia and is associated with lower quality of life, increased dependence and faster decline.
