This NIH-funded project at Vanderbilt University studies the impact of peroxisomal fission on neurodevelopment, focusing on PEX11b deficiency and peroxisomal dynamics using human stem cells.
Description
The project involves studying peroxisomal dysfunction in Zellweger spectrum disorders using human induced pluripotent stem cells. The research aims to understand how peroxisomal morphology affects neurodevelopment. The project focuses on neurodevelopmental effects of PEX11b deficiency and peroxisomal dynamics.
