Congratulations Dr Al-Naama!! So proud of my first PhD mentee and all she’s achieved.
Super proud of Njoud and her PhD thesis work. Here she demonstrates that mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the earliest defects in DRPLA-patient derived neurons. Furthermore, neurodegeneration and ROS accumulation can be rescued with phenylbutyrate treatment. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Mitochondrial dysfunction precedes neurodegeneration in DRPLA patient-derived neurons, and phenylbutyrate improves survival.
Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a progressive autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the ATN1 gene, which encodes the transcriptional corepre...
