Länk - Proteiner som indikering på schizofreni
Researcher Sabine Bahn, M.D., Ph.D., and her colleagues at Cambridge University in England and the University of Cologne in Germany, detected abnormal proteins linked to schizophrenia in the liver and red blood cells of people who have the disorder. It is the first time the same altered proteins have been detected both within brain tissue as well as in non-brain tissue, according to Bahn. In time, Bahn says, these protein "biomarkers" could be used to trace the progression of the disease throughout the body.
