Free eBook: Integrating technologies to study neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are primarily caused by the degeneration of the neuronal cells in the central nervous system, which leads to an imbalance in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and, as a result, anomalies in movement and mental deficits.
Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBDS-2019), researchers predict that the number of people with dementia, a group of neurological conditions characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function-will triple by 2050, and similar increases are expected for other late-onset NDs.
Learn about the latest innovations in ALS & Parkinson's treatment from experts Dr. Janine Kirby & Dr. Malte Spielmann.
Download our new ebook to know about:
The many roads that lead to neuronal demise—genetic and molecular changes that cause neurodegeneration

Tech Note: Western Blot

Western blotting is one of the most common research techniques for the identification and quantitation of protein expression. However, western blotting is known to have several sources of variability that can influence the reliability of results. The transfer step, where proteins are electrophoretically transferred from a separation gel to a membrane, is one such source of variability, and performing high-efficiency protein transfers consistently is a common challenge among researchers. To address this challenge, many parameters must be considered, the most important of which is the transfer method.
