NIH awarded a project to study how metabolic signaling in oligodendrocytes supports long axons, aiming to understand mechanisms promoting axon stability relevant to neurodegenerative diseases.
Description
This NIH-funded project focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which glial LKB1 promotes axon stability, with potential implications for neurodegenerative diseases. The project involves multidisciplinary approaches and aims to identify metabolic components in oligodendrocytes essential for axon support.
