Aperçu du projet

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating and terminal disease. A common hallmark of its familial and sporadic forms is the accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates in the cytoplasm of motor neurons. FUS RNA binding protein (FUS) is found in cytoplasmic protein aggregates of post-mortem spinal cords and brains in…

Aperçu du projet

Current biomarkers of ALS used by clinicians to help care for ALS patients have many drawbacks that may include cost, accessibility, and invasiveness of procedures. An imaging biomarker that is non-invasive, non-contact, and widely accessible would be a welcome addition to the current armamentarium of clinical tools used to diagnose,…

Aperçu du projet

A G4C2 repeat expansion in C9orf72 (chromosome 9 open reading frame 72), a gene of unclear function, is the most frequent genetic cause of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (C9-ALS/FTD). The repeat expansions cause transcriptional downregulation of the C9orf72 mRNA resulting in loss of C9orf72 protein. As such…

Aperçu du projet

TDP-43 is an essential DNA/RNA binding protein at the epicenter of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Nearly all cases of ALS present with TDP-43 pathology involving nuclear to cytoplasmic mislocalization and aggregation, however only a small subset of cases involve mutations in TDP-43. Therefore, it is critical to identify mechanisms regulating…

Aperçu du projet

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is well recognized for its neuroprotective functions, via activation of its high affinity receptor, tropomysin related kinase B (TrkB). In addition, BDNF/TrkB signaling can be triggered via activation of adenosine 2A receptors (A2aRs), which in turn transactivates TrkB. Evidence suggests that alterations in BDNF/TrkB can…
