Live or Die, What Makes Your Neurons Vulnerable or Resistant to Disease?

You may know that when we develop a neurodegenerative disease, like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or the childhood spinal muscular atrophy, the critical cells in our brain (neurons) degenerate and ultimately die.
But, did you know that not all neurons die? Did you know that some remain fully resistant to the disease?
We do not understand how the resilient neurons survive. Stop by our booth to learn how in our lab we try to solve this mystery.
