Neuroscience Frontier Symposium

[NFS-05] Neuroscience Frontier Symposium 05 Motor neuron disease: revisiting the roles of RNA binding proteins and RNA metabolism in neurodegeneration

2021年5月22日(土) 08:00 〜 10:00 第5会場 (国立京都国際会館 2F Room B-1)

座長:漆谷 真(国立大学法人 滋賀医科大学内科学講座 脳神経内科),石垣 診祐(名古屋大学大学院医学系研究科神経内科)

This symposium aims to discuss and share the up-to-date research on pathomechamism of ALS/FTD, especially focused on RNA binding proteins and RNAs, TDP-43, FUS, and C9orf72. Fifteen years have passed since the discovery of these molecules as causative for ALS/FTD, RNA binding proteins and RNA metabolism become central to the pathomechanism of ALS. We invite researchers who are resolving fundamental questions and identifying therapeutic and diagnostic targets for ALS with focus on RNA binding proteins and metabolism.
