Use of Microfluidics Technology to Model Pathogenic Protein Seeding in Neurodegeneration in vitro

Microfluidics Technology to Model Pathogenic Protein Seeding in Neurodegeneration in vitro Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with the presence of misfolded, aggregating proteins within the brain, leading to cytotoxicity and cell death. The prion hypothesis states that these toxic species spread through the brain via anatomically connected regions, leading to widespread neurodegeneration. Examples of prion-like […]
