UNDERSTANDING G3BP1 AND STRESS GRANULE DYNAMICS IN ALS PATHOGENESIS
EF 2019-20
Résumé
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a devastatingly fatal neurodegenerative disease. The death of specialized cells, called motor neurons, which control all voluntary movement, are why patients become paralyzed, unable to walk, talk, or eat. We are interested in how the cells affected in this disease combination deal with adverse conditions (environmental stress). Understanding the cell biology of this disease will open the door to better therapeutics and biomarkers.
