11. Misfolded superoxide dismutase-1 in sporadic and familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative syndrome of unknown etiology that most commonly affects people in middle and high age. The hallmark of ALS is a progressive and simultaneous loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the central nervous system that leads to a progressive muscle atrophy, paralysis and death usually by respiratory failure.

12. α-Synuclein Fibril Formation and the Effects of Lipid Membranes
Sammanfattning : Amyloid protein aggregation results in major disturbances of cellular processes in humans. The most common amyloid-related disorders are Alzheimer´s disease and Parkinson´s disease. Parkinson´s disease is charaterized by the formation of protein-rich aggregates that are deposited in neurons, termed Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. LÄS MER
13. Secondary Nucleation in Amyloid Formation
Sammanfattning : Research into Alzheimer's disease is still hampered by a lack of fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms. While the aggregation of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) into amyloid fibrils is highly implicated as a key factor in the disease, the molecular nature of its involvement has proven complex and elusive.

15. Susceptibility genes in conformational diseases
Sammanfattning : Conformational diseases are characterized by protein misfolding and aggregation in the affected tissue. The aim of this thesis was to find genetic support for mechanisms in common for three prevalent ... LÄS MER
