Neuroscience Frontier Symposium
Sat. May 22, 2021 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Room 05 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-1)
Chair：Urushitani Makoto(Department of Neurology, Shiga University of Medical Science),Ishigaki Shinsuke(Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine)
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.
