Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study astrocyte-secreted proteins in neurodegeneration associated with Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease, including proteomics training and therapeutic investigations.
Description
The project involves research on astrocyte-secreted proteins related to neurodegeneration in Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease. The project includes training in mass spectrometry and proteomics analysis. The project aims to characterize changes in the astrocyte secretome and investigate the therapeutic potential of Pleiotrophin (Ptn).
