Many healthy people carry genetic mutations that could increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, however in all likelihood they will never develop it. A study by Eurac Research has examined healthy mutation carriers and, for the first time, used cell models to identify the so-called “molecular markers” that play an important role in detecting molecular dysfunction in the early stages of Parkinson's disease, and in the search for protective factors.

For the first time, markers have been identified at the cellular level that indicate mitochondrial defects even in the absence of physical symptoms

Parkinson’s research: new approaches for early detection

Malaria was common in Renaissance Italy. The disease was known as “Febbre terzana” at the time as an onset of the fever occurred in intervals of two to three days.  A research team led by Eurac Research has now microscopically detected the parasite *Plasmodium falciparum*, the causative agent of the dangerous malaria tropica in soft tissue from embalming vessels found at the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence.

The pathogen of the deadliest form of the disease has been identified in mummified soft tissue belonging to members of the Florentine dynasty.

Produrre birra è un mestiere, un’arte e una scienza. E un ramo della sua produzione può anche cambiare positivamente l’Alto Adige. Ne è convinto Christian Hoffmann, esperto di sviluppo regionale, che durante un workshop al Bolzano Beer Craft Festival, discuterà con esperti e politici di come rendere più regionale la filiera dal campo alla spina. Il microbiologo Frank Maixner racconterà cosa ha scoperto sul consumo di birra dei minatori di Hallstatt nell’età del ferro e, insieme a un “cacciatore di lieviti”, spiegherà le varietà del più antico animale domestico dell’umanità.
