Bagadilico is a research consortium focused on the study and treatment of basal ganglia disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. The consortium brings together experts from various fields, including neuroscience, clinical research, and pharmacology, to advance understanding and develop new therapeutic strategies.
==Overview==
Bagadilico was established to bring together researchers from various disciplines to address the complex challenges posed by neurodegenerative diseases. The consortium aims to develop new therapeutic strategies and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from these conditions.


===History===
==Research Focus==
Bagadilico was established in 2008 as a collaborative effort among several universities and research institutions. The name "Bagadilico" is derived from "Basal Ganglia Disorders Linnaeus Consortium," reflecting its focus on disorders of the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei in the brain associated with a variety of functions including motor control and learning.
The primary focus of Bagadilico is on understanding the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. This includes studying the genetic, molecular, and cellular processes that contribute to the progression of diseases like Parkinson's and Huntington's. The consortium also works on developing novel [[biomarkers]] for early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.


===Research Focus===
===Parkinson's Disease===
The primary research focus of Bagadilico is on neurodegenerative diseases that affect the basal ganglia. This includes:
In the context of [[Parkinson's disease]], Bagadilico researchers are investigating the role of [[dopamine]]-producing neurons and the impact of their degeneration on motor and non-motor symptoms. The consortium is exploring potential treatments that could slow down or halt the progression of the disease.


* '''Parkinson's Disease''': A progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. Bagadilico researchers are investigating the underlying mechanisms of the disease and exploring potential treatments.
===Huntington's Disease===
For [[Huntington's disease]], Bagadilico focuses on the genetic mutations that cause the disease and how these mutations lead to neuronal death. The research includes studying the [[Huntingtin protein]] and its interactions within the cell.


* '''Huntington's Disease''': A genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. The consortium is involved in research aimed at understanding the genetic and molecular basis of the disease.
==Collaborations==
Bagadilico collaborates with several international research groups and pharmaceutical companies to translate basic research findings into clinical applications. These collaborations are crucial for the development of new drugs and therapies.


===Collaborations===
==Education and Outreach==
Bagadilico collaborates with various international research groups and pharmaceutical companies to enhance the scope and impact of its research. These collaborations facilitate the sharing of knowledge and resources, accelerating the development of new treatments.
The consortium is also involved in educational activities, providing training for young researchers and raising awareness about neurodegenerative diseases. Bagadilico organizes workshops, seminars, and public lectures to disseminate knowledge and engage with the community.

Bagadilico is a research consortium focused on the study and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. The consortium is based in Sweden and involves collaboration between several universities and research institutions.

Overview[edit]

Bagadilico was established to bring together researchers from various disciplines to address the complex challenges posed by neurodegenerative diseases. The consortium aims to develop new therapeutic strategies and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from these conditions.

Research Focus[edit]

The primary focus of Bagadilico is on understanding the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. This includes studying the genetic, molecular, and cellular processes that contribute to the progression of diseases like Parkinson's and Huntington's. The consortium also works on developing novel biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.

Parkinson's Disease[edit]

In the context of Parkinson's disease, Bagadilico researchers are investigating the role of dopamine-producing neurons and the impact of their degeneration on motor and non-motor symptoms. The consortium is exploring potential treatments that could slow down or halt the progression of the disease.

Huntington's Disease[edit]

For Huntington's disease, Bagadilico focuses on the genetic mutations that cause the disease and how these mutations lead to neuronal death. The research includes studying the Huntingtin protein and its interactions within the cell.

Collaborations[edit]

Bagadilico collaborates with several international research groups and pharmaceutical companies to translate basic research findings into clinical applications. These collaborations are crucial for the development of new drugs and therapies.

Education and Outreach[edit]

The consortium is also involved in educational activities, providing training for young researchers and raising awareness about neurodegenerative diseases. Bagadilico organizes workshops, seminars, and public lectures to disseminate knowledge and engage with the community.
