Alpha Synuclein Galaxy

The story

This was an experiment with chronic fibrils, during which we bilaterally injected fibrils into the brains of mice and observed these mice over a period of six months. The image was taken six months after the fibril injection. It was a collaborative project with universities in the United States. Together, we are taking small steps toward treating Parkinson’s disease.

Research area

The glymphatic brain clearance system.

Impact

We are deeply committed to stop Parkinson’s disease. We think about it every day and conduct numerous experiments to achieve this goal. Our aim is to heal neurons in the brain and prevent the disruption of their connections by alpha-synuclein. This will pave the way for curing Parkinson’s disease in the future.

Image description

In the image, you can see alpha-synuclein and neurons inside the brain. The 3D visualization clearly shows what the brain looks like from the inside. It’s as if we are entering the brain and can see everything in detail.
