Dysregulation of Signaling on Post Synaptic Density Scaffolds in Alzheimer’s Disease

2024

The proposed research addresses how protein scaffolds serve as platforms to coordinate signal transmission in the synapse and how protein interactions on these platforms contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the mechanisms that drive these interactions will pave the way to new potential therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.
