Characterization and modulation of the endocannabinoid system for treating Fragile X Syndrome
Aperçu du projet
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the first inherited cause of intellectual disability and one of the most prevalent causes of autism spectrum disorders. Individuals with FXS do not produce a protein named FMRP. The absence of FMRP results in abnormal brain development and impaired synaptic transmission, which is the mechanism…

Aperçu du projet
Thanks to advances in cancer treatments, more than 80% of children treated for brain tumors now survive at least five years after their diagnosis. However, these treatments can often harm the brain, affecting both its structure and function. The brain's structure, particularly the white matter pathways that connect different regions,…

Aperçu du projet
By profiling the protein expression signatures of multiple patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines, we recently identified a major signalling pathway involved in glioblastoma cell migration. Excitingly, we showed that chemical inhibition of a key protein involved in regulating this pathway significantly reduced the infiltration of three glioblastoma cell lines. While inhibiting…
