NIH awarded a research grant for studying molecular and cellular mechanisms of spinocerebellar ataxia type 5, focusing on spectrin-actin interactions and related proteins to develop therapeutic strategies.
Description
This is a research grant opportunity from NIH for a project on spinocerebellar ataxia type 5, with a focus on spectrin-actin interactions and dendritic arborization. The project involves multiple proteins including tropomyosin, myosins, kinases, and phosphatases. The award is multiyear, with a focus on understanding mechanisms and developing therapeutic strategies.
