Blood Testing for so-called MicroRNAs Can Detect Dementia

German-American research team highlights new diagnostic option for Alzheimer’s

23-Sep-2024 - Dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and its preliminary stage can be detected by measuring so-called microRNAs in blood. Researchers from DZNE in Göttingen, together with US experts from Boston University and the Indiana University School of Medicine, report on this in the scientific journal ...

Scientists Unravel Life-saving Effect of Dexamethasone in COVID-19

New approach for targeted drug development

05-Jul-2024 - Dexamethasone is one of the most important drugs in the treatment of severe COVID-19, but patients respond very differently to the therapy. Researchers at the DZNE and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now discovered how the cortisone compound influences the impaired inflammatory response ...

Memory self-test via smartphone can identify early signs of Alzheimer’s disease

German-US research team and Magdeburg-based start-up have proven that memory problems can be recognised using an app

05-Apr-2024 - Dedicated memory tests on smartphones enable the detection of “mild cognitive impairment”, a condition that may indicate Alzheimer’s disease, with high accuracy. Researchers from DZNE, the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States who ...

PFAS in blood are ubiquitous – and they are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases

Younger people are particularly affected

13-Mar-2024 - Researchers at DZNE provide evidence that traces of the widely used PFAS chemicals in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and thus with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The findings are based on data from more than 2,500 adults from Bonn and the Dutch ...

With “Swarming AI” Against COVID and Other Diseases

Network of German research institutions uses pioneering artificial intelligence technology to analyze distributed data

23-Jan-2024 - Several German research centers, universities and university hospitals intend to jointly evaluate decentralized data on COVID-19 by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Their approach is based on “Swarm Learning”, a novel AI technology that allows distributed data pools to be analyzed while ...

New Potential Mechanism for Vision Loss Discovered

Visual cells may not simply die in some diseases, but are mechanically transported out of the retina beforehand

05-Dec-2022 - Thanks to laboratory produced human mini-retinas, researchers were able to observe complex changes in the retina as they occur in macular degeneration. This enabled them to discover the so-called cell extrusion as a potential mechanism for neurodegenerative diseases. Visual cells in the human ...

More Brain Lesions in Senior Women than in Men of the Same Age

The Extent of Abnormalities in the Brain’s White Matter Grows Significantly After Menopause

04-Jul-2022 - In women after menopause, the extent of certain brain lesions is larger than in men of the same age. DZNE researchers come to this conclusion based on the assessment of more than 3,400 adults as part of the Bonn Rhineland Study. A team led by neuroscientist Monique Breteler reports on the ...

The Retina as a Potential Biomarker for Reduced Brain Matter

“There is evidence that the retina can serve as a window into the brain”

17-Mar-2022 - Researchers from the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) have found a close connection between the dimensions of retinal structures and those of the brain. They report on this in the journal “Scientific ...
