Grant Activity:
Why do we have SARM 1 protein if knocking it out prevents axons degenerating?
Purpose:
Nerve cells communicate through messages sent along axons. Axon loss in neurodegenerative disease prevents communication, resulting in symptoms such as loss of movement or memory. We will investigate whether the nervous systems programmed axon removal pathways are abnormally activated in disease or whether they function to protect the nervous system from in-proper function. This will have consequences for our treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and motor-neuron disease.
