New biomarker to diagnose Alzheimer’s in asymptomatic stages
This is a molecule that is directly linked to the expression of the cellular prion protein found on the surface of nerve cells. The study, led by the IBEC, opens the door to the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in asymptomatic stages in blood samples, favouring its diagnosis and treatment.

The lack of cellular prion protein might lead to epilepsy symptoms and learning deficits
Researchers at IBEC, in collaboration with hospitals and international partners, have observed that the deficiency of the cellular prion protein leads to behavioral deficits, learning impairment, and enhanced epilepsy-like excitability of the brain, in mice.
