Common features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) include misdirected proteins that build up over time and lead to large protein clumps that are toxic to the cell and lead to cell death. Project Overview Common features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) include misdirected proteins that...

Mr. Hooshmandi’s research will examine the hypothesis that reduced phosphorylation of eIF2α excessively stimulates general translation in Fmr1 KO mice during brain development, contributing to the pathophysiology of Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and potentially of other forms of autism. Project...
