Molecular origins of tissue vulnerability to aberrant aggregation in protein misfolding diseases

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), are increasingly common in our ageing society, are remain incurable. A major obstacle encountered by researchers in their attempts to find effective therapies is represented by the current lack of understanding of the molecular origins of these disorders. It is becoming clear that, although the aggregation of specific pro...
