Stroke Imaging of Conscious Rats

This proposal is a competitive renewal of R01NS045879 'Stroke Imaging of Conscious Rats.' In the previous grant cycle, we reported over two dozen peer-reviewed publications and leveraged multiple foundation grants to expand stroke research.

Mechanisms and Consequences of Heterochromatin Loss in Tauopathies

Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia, are degenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of aggregated tau protein in the brains of affected individuals. AD affects an estimated 5.2 million Americans, and is the only cause of death among the top ten in the US that lacks a disease-modifying therapy or method of prevention. It has become increasingly recognized that tau-based therapies may be effective in treating AD, with the added benefit of potentially being used to treat other tauopathies.
