RNA stress and neurodegeneration: how UPF1 protects cells from harmful RNA accumulation

University of Birmingham

School of Biosciences

RNA biology is emerging as a central theme in neurodegenerative disease. In ALS, FTD and related disorders, disruption of RNA processing, RNA-binding proteins and RNA-protein assemblies can lead to harmful aggregates and loss of cellular resilience. Read more
