Neuroinflammation Group
Neurodegenerative diseases affect cells in the brain, called neurons. Over time, these cells deteriorate and die. Associated with this death is an abnormal build-up of proteins such as tau or TDP-43. Most of these diseases, including dementias and motor neurone disease, have no cure and few effective treatments.
