Metabolic dysregulation in Frontotemporal Dementia

Investigator: Marla Tipping, Providence College Theme: Neuroscience Title: Metabolic dysregulation in Frontotemporal Dementia Award: SURF PUI Training Award (2022-2024) Abstract: A common attribute of neurodegenerative disease is a change in the way cells break down and utilize nutrients, as well as their ability to build new macromolecules. Collectively, this is referred to as metabolic reprogramming, […]
