Fondazione Cariplo, Biomedical Research Conducted by Young Researchers: "Exploring the regulatory roles of proteolysis and intra-membrane protein clustering in formation and dissociation of neuromuscular synapses" – Project code 2014-0881
Description
The project investigated how proteolysis and intramembrane protein clustering regulate the formation and disassembly of neuromuscular synapses, with particular attention to synaptic organizers such as RapSyn and Neurotrypsin and their relevance to neuromuscular diseases.
