Department of Neuroscience Special Seminar: Cahir O’Kane, PhD
“Axonal ER Architecture in Health and Disease” Cahir O’Kane, PhD Professor of Genetics University of Cambridge Axon ER comprises a mainly tubular network, shaped by membrane proteins including REEPs and reticulons. It is continuous over large distances, with unusually narrow nanotubules. Since mutations in ER-shaping proteins can lead to the axon degeneration disease, hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), the […]
