ALT “Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra of a Parkinson’s disease patient, immuno-stained with the 5G4 antibody that labels only the disease-associated α-synuclein. From left to right, 1) a normal nerve cell with neuromelanin, a diseased nerve cell with: 2) pre-aggregates of α-synuclein, 3) small inclusions, and 4) a Lewy body. In rare cases, a nerve cell can be seen with 3 Lewy bodies! After a long journey, the life of a nerve cell comes to an end, leaving the Lewy body it formed.”

“For the first time, this research indicates the extent to which somatostatin could be important in Alzheimer’s disease,” says Gerold Schmitt-Ulms, LMP faculty member. His research at @tanzuoft is challenging long-held views of the disease.
