INVESTIGATOR: Anabela Maia, Rhode Island College MENTOR: Elizabeth Brainerd, Brown University SCIENTIFIC THEME: Neuroscience ABSTRACT: Problems with motor control strongly impact quality of life. Lack of control and the inability to adequate perceive sensory information and adjust muscle contraction are at the source of many pathologies including Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis as well in a variety […]

Mechanisms of actin-dependent regulation of nuclear pores in postmitotic neurons
INVESTIGATOR: Claudia Fallini, University of Rhode Island MENTOR: William Van Nostrand, University of Rhode Island SCIENTIFIC THEME: Neuroscience ABSTRACT: A detailed insight into the molecular defects leading to neuronal death in ALS/FTD is still missing, hindering the development of a cure. Defects in the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) have been proposed to […]
