    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sophia Datsen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As life expectancy increases globally, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases, some of which are more difficult to adapt to and accommodate for than others. In particular, neurodegenerative disorders are among those for which adaptations are more complex, often requiring long-term care. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effects of IRAP-inhibitors in the brain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Dennis Josefsson; [2021]
    Keywords : IRAP; insulin-regulated aminopeptidase; IRAP-inhibitors; memory disorders; neurogenerative diseases; cognitive impairments;

    Abstract : The increased understanding of underlying neurobiological processes and their connections to cognitive performance has opened new doors for novel therapeutic strategies that aim to prevent, and even reverse the effects of memory disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and other cognitive impairments. One of the new and exciting drug targets that has emerged as a result of this research is insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). READ MORE
