Post 4: "From the invisible to the visible world and back"

Many people are suffering a very complex disease. Probably you have listened the word Alzheimer or also known someone that has suffering the disease or someone who has taken care about a sick person Alzheimer. This proves that Alzheimer has got a high prevalence not only in the health problems of the world, but also here in Chile.

Proteins associates to Alzheimer's disease.

The knowledge about this disease is limited by the ignorance of how the disease affect the brain for make people forget all they knew, from their name until how to eat. Scientific community are very interested in how recognize the disease for then know how treat it. In this sense some investigation show a very advance in the biomedical investigation.

"If you know exactly where the disease affect, then you can treat it", that's the phrase which used a scientific group for motivate the investigation about a bio-marker using the knowledge about molecular biology. They wanted to know how some proteins were decreased when another protein was present in more or less quantity.

Comparison about normal and affected brain cells.

Alzheimer's disease show a prevalence on the levels of different proteins (for example, a BA42 protein decreased, the Tau increased, etc.). When we study molecular biology we know how genetic control our proteins levels, so this biomedical advance take all of this world to treat people.

In my career this can be use to make new medicine fot control the different manifestations of the disease. This can a world of knowledge or a world of ignorance. Nobody can ensure that the disease will have a treatment in the short term.
