Oxidative stress and amyloidogenesis
Principal Investigator
Project Goals
Oxidative stress and amyloid fibril formation are consistent major themes among processes thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. However, a mechanistic link between these two processes has not been defined. The research being proposed will probe human brain tissues and animal models of Alzheimer's disease for evidence of a specific chemical mechanism that will be amenable to therapeutic intervention.
