Research Summary
Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra is the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. We examine the molecules, which determine the properties of these cells, regulate their differentiation, ensure their survival during development, and play a role in their maintenance during adulthood.
