Targeting Axonal Transport in Alzheimer's Disease

This webinar will discuss the technology of hair testing and present on the situation in Brazil. There is consequently, a very large numbers of hair tests taking place, and laboratories must meet the need for high throughput and sensitivity.

Various neurodegenerative processes result in the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s (AD), Parkinson’s (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and, arguably, multiple sclerosis (MS). Despite years of research, drug discovery initiatives, and promising clinical trials, these diseases remain incurable. But recent studies have suggested common mechanisms underlying these pathologies. Atypical protein assembly resulting in plaque formation is a common pathological finding in both AD and PD, while neuronal death is a primary (ALS) or secondary (MS) hallmark of the disease. For a detailed look at the mechanisms that drive an array of neurodegenerative diseases, The Scientist is bringing together a panel of experts to share their research, discuss current therapeutic approaches, and offer their insights. Come engage with our panel and get the answers you seek.

The webinar will update on latest developments in MALDI mass spectrometry for high-throughput screening and CPD profiling (rapifleX MALDI PharmaPulse) and introduce Bruker's new surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument, the SIERRA SPR-32. Beside technical details explaining the latest developments, synergies between MALDI mass spectrometry and SPR will be discussed.

The future of healthcare will change for the better by adding more tailored treatment options, where patients get the best medication related to their disease state and predisposition.
