[NFS-04] Neuroscience Frontier Symposium 04 Structure and propagation of aggregated proteins

Fri. May 21, 2021 2:40 PM - 4:40 PM Room 05 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-1)

Chair:Nukina Nobuyuki(Doshisha University Graduate School of Brain Science),Iwata Atsushi(Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Institute Neurology)

Accumulation of aggregated proteins lies at the central molecular pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. Some of the diseases share common aggregated proteins, but their clinical phenotypes, regional differences and disease course are diverse. Recent advances revealed that the structure of aggregated proteins are diverse and could be a key to the differences of their toxocity or propagation property.
