Funded Activity Summary

Neurons are faced with diverse forms of stress everyday. Neural diseases exacerbate this stress, causing interference to genes that normally allow neurons to function correctly. As a result, neurons die, and severe loss can result in diseases such as dementia. We have discovered new molecular factors in neurons that insulate their genes from stress, thereby protecting neuron function and health. The proposed research will exploit these mechanisms to better protect neurons from disease.
