Medicinens Verden: What can our skin and brain cells tell us about Parkinson's
A Medicinens Verden talk by Céline Galvagnion
More and more people develop Parkinson’s Disease! The Parkinson’s brain and skin cells are different from the healthy cells in
their fat, or lipid, content. But how? Céline Galvagnion has studied these cell types intensively.
A detailed characterisation of the "lipid content of brain and skin cells at the different stages of Parkinson’s Disease can show us the specific lipid signature of the progression of the disease. And researchers can use this to design strategies to revert the pathological changes in the lipids.
In this talk, Céline Galvagnion will show how our brain and skin cells can be used to understand the progression of Parkinson’s Disease and how this knowledge can be used to design efficient biomarkers and medical treatments against this currently incurable disease.
