SyNergy - Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology
@synergy-munich.bsky.social
SyNergy studies how complex neurological diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, and MS develop. By exploring shared mechanisms with a systems neurology approach, researchers aim to uncover new therapies. Funded by the DFG since 2012.

Der Code des Lebens@dercodedeslebens.bsky.social · 2mo ago📣 Neue Podcast-Folge 📣 Prof. Dr. Magdalena Götz vom @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social berichtet über unterschiedliche Stammzelltypen sowie die besondere Bedeutung neuraler Stammzellen. 🎧 Hier gehts zur Folge: codedeslebens.podigee.io/57-stammzellen #Genetik #Forschung #Podcast #Wissenschaft #GHGA
🧠 Nuclear #MAP1B Links Cytoskeleton and Cell Fate. Magdalena Götz and her team mapped the nuclear and cytoplasmic proteomes of #neuralstemcells and discovered that many cytoskeletal proteins are present in the nucleus. 🔗Read a summary on our website: www.synergy-munich.de/news-events/...
🧠 A Simple MRI Marker for Earlier #PSP Diagnosis. Progressive supranuclear palsy is difficult to distinguish from #Parkinson’s disease and other parkinsonian disorders, especially early in the disease course. 🔗Read a summary of the study on our website: www.synergy-munich.de/news-events/...
Bei #Alzheimer ist ein bestimmter Bereich im Gehirn besonders früh von Veränderungen betroffen: der so genannte Locus Coeruleus. Dr. Lars Paeger vom @dzne.science erforscht, warum das so ist und was passiert, wenn die Energieversorgung in den Nervenzellen gestört ist. ▶️Mehr Infos gibt's im Video

🧠 Many diseases affect the whole body, but studying these changes at cellular resolution has remained difficult. We developed #MouseMapper, a deep-learning framework that maps #nerves and more in entire mouse bodies. 🔗Read a summary of the study on our website: synergy-munich.de/news-events/...
🧠 Metabolic #Tau Toxicity Drives Neuronal Death: This study shows how reduced brain glucose metabolism and pathological phosphorylated Tau cooperate to trigger neuronal #necroptosis. 🔗Read a summary of the study on our website: www.synergy-munich.de/news-events/...
