Neuro-Aging & Viro-Immunotherapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ‘Neuro-Aging’ team focuses on glutamate transport, with emphasis on system xc - , in health and disease. We have ongoing projects on the role of system xc - or the cystine/glutamate antiporter in e.g. Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and (central effects of) (pancreatic) cancer. In most of these projects, neuroimmune communication is receiving increasing attention. Our overall hypothesis that inhibition of system xc - might be a ...
