Reference: PROJECT2 Abstract: The objective of this project is to determine whether the role of MeCP2 runs out during the early stages of development organism, once induced neuronal maturation, or whether it may also be important in advanced stages of life, possibly exerting a maintenance of different biological activities. The transgenic model we have created … Read more
Reference: Maurizio Giustetto Abstract: The majority of cases of Rett syndrome are caused by mutations in the gene encoding MECP2, a protein which binds DNA and regulates the expression of other genes, including that of brain?derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a major neurotrophin involved in brain development. No effective cure is available for this disease. The … Read more
