Explore groundbreaking research on neurodegenerative diseases in this 46-minute lecture from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. Delve into Chiara Zurzolo's innovative work using advanced imaging techniques to investigate tunneling nanotubes in vivo and their potential role in incurable brain diseases. Learn about cell structure, various forms of dementia, protein conformational disorders, prion diseases, and Parkinson's Disease. Discover the fascinating world of cell communication, including how plants move and the concept of connectomics. Gain insights into ongoing clinical trials and potential therapeutic interventions for these challenging neurological conditions. Engage with cutting-edge scientific concepts presented by the chair of the Department of Cell Biology & Infection at Institut Pasteur, offering a unique perspective on the progression and potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

It was a good course, thank you and dear professors My information was very useful and it motivates me to participate in other courses
Is the certificate not given? -
studying about the diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's is very beneficial for me as I am high school passed students who is willing to continue my further education in the field of bioinformatics as it includes both technologies and biology. Studying about such types of increasing diseases as how it is transmitted from one cell to another cell by communiting through TNTs tube. From that tube the prions generally used to transmitted from one effected cell to another effected cell that leads the number increasing which causes seriousness for the people who are suffering with it.

Very well explained about prions.
And also other common types of Neurodegenerative disorders.
This course explain about pathology of Dementia which is characteristic for some of neurodegenerative disorders.
Explanation starts for very basic, so to understand complete topic.
It was helpful for me.
