A novel alpha-synuclein PET tracer, [11C]MODAG-005, visualises pathological protein deposits in the human brain. The split-screen image compares the anatomical brain structure (left) with the molecular pathology (right) and illustrates the selective tracer accumulation in two brain regions (caudate and putamen) of a patient with multiple system atrophy. © Kristina Herfert / University Medical Center Tübingen

New imaging method makes Parkinson’s disease visible in the living brain

Researchers have developed a PET tracer that can visualize pathological alpha-synuclein aggregates in the brain. The method could contribute to the development of new therapies and help tailor personalized treatments in the future.   “With this new method, we can observe pathological processes directly in the brain for the first

Mechanism that regulates the rate of mitochondrial protein production discovered

Researchers at Göttingen University Medical Center (UMG) and the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have elucidated how the production of certain proteins and their incorporation into the inner membrane of mitochondria – the ‘powerhouses of the cell’ – are coordinated. This process, which ensures energy production in living
