The overarching goal of the Fallini Lab is to dissect the molecular and cellular changes that occur in postmitotic neurons during aging and in pathological conditions, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Frontotemporal Dementia (ALS/FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease. Our current research is focused on investigating the crosstalk between the actin cytoskeleton, a regulator of cell […]
