We realized their potential in shedding light on how amyloid metabolism might be changed in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or those at high risk of developing Alzheimer's and wrote a grant proposal describing how we would push the projects further.
Henrik Zetterberg's steady outlook on life could date back to his tranquil upbringing close to the Gothenburg archipelago in Sweden. “We started to talk about neurochemistry projects”, explains Zetterberg.

Today, he is Professor of Neurochemistry,
The data so far are promising regarding both those aspects.”His other connection to sport is through his three soccer-crazy sons, whom he drives to their various matches after school and at weekends.
Henrik Zetterberg has special expertise in Herpes Zoster. Other colleagues will make these discoveries, but hopefully we can facilitate [their work] with the markers”, explains Zetterberg.“Finding biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease is critically important—we need them for early diagnosis of course, but more importantly for enabling clinical trials”, says Simon Lovestone, professor of translational neuroscience at the University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry Warneford Hospital (Oxford, UK).

His parents inspired his love of nature, which would eventually translate into a love of science and a medical degree.
Henrik Zetterberg is a professor of neurochemistry, who was trained at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, and then completed a postdoc in Boston at the Center for Neurologic Diseases.
“Most of our studies have focused on Alzheimer's disease and we feel pretty convinced that the CSF tau and amyloid β markers are clinically useful, and will be more so when disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease finally appear.
We have meta-analysed almost the whole published literature on Additionally, his team is developing new ultrasensitive blood tests for neuronal injury after traumatic brain injury.
We have recently verified this pathway in dogs. in Sweden. His parents inspired his love of nature, which would eventually translate into a love of science and a medical degree.
“I did not have any interest in sports, but with three boys, all playing soccer, I am always out with them, sometimes even as a referee, more often than I could ever have dreamt of before they were born!” One guitar-playing son has also inspired him to take up playing guitar again.Other research projects include developing new tests for protein inclusions, including new biomarkers for α-synuclein and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 pathologies.

His parents inspired his love of nature, which would eventually translate into a love of science and a medical degree. Some of these methods had been under development for quite a while.
In addition to the well-established Alzheimer's biomarker beta-amyloid 1-42, those with Alzheimer's have high levels of the shorter fragment beta-amyloid 1-16, in CSF.Experiments conducted in cell cultures and in mice show that this fragment is the result of alpha- and beta-secretase clipping the same APP molecule.
We have also shown that beta-amyloid 1-16 does not have any acute toxic effect on synapses on its own.When comparing the beta-amyloid patterns in the CSF of people with sporadic Alzheimer's and those who are carriers of the Alzheimer's-causing genetic mutation PSEN1 A431E, the patterns separate the two groups completely.

These beta-amyloid fragments result when enzymes called secretases clip APP. Erik Portelius, Mikael K Gustavsson, Ulf Andreasson, Henrik Zetterberg & Kaj Blennow
