Stress granules the focus of molecular, cellular basis of neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers are examining stress granules—temporary cellular structures linked to ALS, frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease—to understand how they may contribute to nerve-cell damage. A new $3.4 million NIH grant extends the five-year project led by Rohit Pappu and Tanja Mittag, supporting deeper investigation into disease mechanisms that could inform future treatments.
