Course Details
• Introduction to Protein Aggregation: Overview of protein misfolding, aggregation, and its impact on cellular function.
• Protein Misfolding & Amyloid Formation: Examination of protein misfolding mechanisms, amyloid fibril formation, and their role in neurodegeneration.
• Key Proteins in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Analysis of specific proteins associated with neurodegenerative disorders, such as alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease and tau in Alzheimer's disease.
• Cellular Responses to Protein Aggregation: Exploration of cellular quality control mechanisms, including the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy, and their role in managing protein aggregation.
• Genetics of Neurodegeneration: Study of genetic factors contributing to neurodegenerative diseases, including mutations in aggregation-prone proteins.
