Is there a link among the pathogenic mechanisms associated with neurodegenerative disease?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple pathways have been identified as playing a role in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), but it is unclear how they are connected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our current research investigates the role of the actin cytoskeleton \u2013\u2013 which helps regulate cell shape and structure \u2013\u2013 and nucleocytoplasmic transport as a possible common thread in ALS, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. By understanding the processes that contribute to these devastating conditions, we hope to identify mechanisms that could be targeted for therapeutic intervention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
