The 2021 Call of the EU Joint Programme on Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) Is Open

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JPND is inviting multi-national research teams to submit proposals aimed at identifying and measuring physiological effects and related biomarkers that can be linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases are debilitating and largely untreatable conditions that are strongly linked with age. Worldwide, there are estimated to be 47 million people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. This figure is expected to double every 20 years as the population ages. The development of efficient treatments for most neurodegenerative diseases is hindered by the fact that their detection intervenes at late stages by which time the integrity of the nervous tissue has been compromised. Poorly characterised early physiological disturbances known to appear before unambiguous symptoms of each neurodegenerative disease are detected. These changes may include, among others, the disruption of sleep, olfaction, hearing, vision, metabolic factors as well as social engagement. All these signs have the potential to be used as early indicators of later diseases, and in most cases, are measurable in natural daily life environments. Hence, the identification of the circuits and molecular pathways being affected might reveal promising targets for early interventions and therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
