Based on previous research and preliminary data, the project consortium hypothesizes that the processes underlying development of SWS/NTE-associated neuropathology and Alzheimer's disease are highly evolutionarily conserved and that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of these processes; therefore, miRNAs can be used to modulate the speed of age-dependent neurodegeneration and be considered as potential drug targets. This central hypothesis will be tested by pursuing specific aims, which have been divided based on the scientific topics and proficiencies for each of the collaborating laborato...
