What
happens
during neurodegeneration is still a mystery and no promising
cure has been introduced for this class of diseases. Moreover,
neurodegenerative diseases are usually diagnosed in their late
stages
which makes the therapeutic methods less effective. We study
dynamics
of bio-systems in different scales to develop methods of early
diagnostic of such diseases. Our focus is on three different
levels:
- Defects in intracellular transport in which we study cargo
transport by kinesin motor protein inside neurons.
- Defects in small neuronal networks.
