Brief description Neurodegenerative disorders share a similar pathway to disastrous neurotoxicity, which occurs through the release of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-a (TNF) from glial cells. TNF controls inflammation but its excessive secretion in the brain is highly detrimental. The mechanism of TNF secretion is unknown but strategies aimed at reducing it have therapeutic potential. This grant proposes to study TNF discharge to find new ways to reduce secretion and confer protection in a stroke model.
