Funded Activity Summary

Are Proteostasis defects responsible for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis? Currently the cause of motor neurone disease (MND) is a mystery. There is, however, a growing group of unrelated genes associated with inherited MND. This project aims to show that this group of apparently diverse genes all contribute to a single cellular function called protein homeostasis and that mutations in these genes cause homeostasis disruptions.
