Molecular approaches to neurodegenerative disease
Mechanisms of neurodegeneration
The Yu Lab is interested in the disease mechanisms behind age-related neurodegeneration. We are dedicated to finding a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), etc.
We currently explore three directions:
- The molecular mechanisms of anisosome formation in cells
- TDP-43 aggregation and neuronal RNA bodies
- New therapies for neurodegeneration
