Går det att förbättra antikropparna som kroppen tillverkar för att bekämpa SARS-CoV2? I en studie som publiceras i PNAS och som letts av forskare från Lunds universitet, har man undersökt detta genom att designa om antikroppar och kombinera dem mot viruset. De modifierade antikropparna har testats i möss och med mänskliga celler. Många av de antikroppar som använts för att behandla covid-infektion

Till exempel har forskning visat att boendet är viktigt för livstillfredställelse och välbefinnande för den åldrande befolkningen. Parkinsons sjukdom, som oftast diagnostiseras i 55- till 65 årsåldern, är en av de vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomarna; trots det saknas det kunskap om många bo

Personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, såsom kognitiva sjukdom och personer med Parkinson, går långsammare, tar kortare steg och har en ökad variabilitet i sin gång än kognitivt friska.
