In vitro and in vivo functional assessment of neuropsychiatric disease-related synaptic gene mutations
https://braincanada.ca/fr/subventions-financées/in-vitro-and-in-vivo-functional-assessment-of-neuropsychiatric-disease-related-synaptic-gene-mutationsDr. Xie’s research focuses on the functional assessment of neuropsychiatric disease related synaptic genes – MDGA1 and 2. MDGAs bind to critical neuron synaptic proteins – Neuroglin (NLGN), disrupting the binding between NLGN and Neurexin (NRXN), so suppressing synaptogenesis. Project Overview Dr....
