Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease: Dissecting synaptosomal dysfunction in transgenic animal models

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease (AD). This project will dissect pathogenic mechanisms, identify new drug targets, and develop treatment strategies, all of which will be patented and eventually lead to a decrease in health costs in Australia. This research clearly falls under the national research priority of promoting and maintaining good health. Our findings are expected to benefit patients in addition to those suffering from AD, as pathocascades and pathogenic mechanisms are shared between a range of neurodegenerative disorders.
