Molecular mechanism(s) of neurodegeneration in Niemann-Pick type C disease - Ruđer Bošković Institute

The goal of this project is to elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) of neurodegeneration in Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC). We will investigate the role of protease BACE1, the key Alzheimer's disease (AD) enzyme, in the pathogenesis of NPC disease. We hope that our findings will elucidate BACE1 as a novel target for treating/ameliorating NPC disease.
