New pluripotent stem cell line generated from a Parkinson’s disease patient is aimed at studying PD mechanisms and as a drug-screening platform

Denham group at DANDRITE and colleague researchers have developed a new stem cell line (DANi-011A) from a Parkinson’s disease (PD) patient carrying a LRRK2 p.G2019S mutation that is identified in inherited and sporadic cases of PD. The established cell line enables in vitro modelling of PD and the development of potential treatment strategies for…

Mark Denham's lab has published an article in Stem Cell Research

The Denham lab has generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from fibroblasts of a clinically diagnosed 70-year old female Parkinson's disease (PD) patient by using non-integrating Sendai viruses. The patient is heterozygous for a pathogenic missense variant (p.G2019S) in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene, and the…

According to the researcher, the study contributes with new and specific knowledge in a number of areas. It has been known for decades that the eye contains nerve cells that sense and signal the direction of movement when an object moves in our field of vision. However, how these nerve cells contribute to the nerve cells found in the cerebral cortex remained a mystery.

Neural circuits mapped: Now we understand vision better

Researchers from Aarhus University have discovered the function of a special group of nerve cells which are found in the eye and which sense visual movement. The findings give us a completely new understanding of how conscious sensory impressions occur in the brain. This knowledge is necessary to be able to develop targeted and specific forms of…

New salary agreement catalogue is part of the current salary negotiations

As the salary negotiations enter their final phase, they do so with Health's new salary agreement catalogue providing the framework. The salary agreement catalogue ensures a uniform and transparent pay formation for the faculty’s employees, and this year it has been updated with a new section for technical/administrative staff salaries.
