Project #1: Role of transcription factor yin yang 1 (YY1) in Mn-induced repression of astrocytic
glutamate transporters (GLAST and GLT-1) and excitotoxic neuronal injury. -
Project #2: Molecular mechanisms of RE1-silencing transcription factor/neuron-restrictive silencing factor (REST/NRSF)-induced protection against Mn toxicity in astrocytes and dopaminergic neurons.
-
Project #3: The role of leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and its genetic variants in Mn-induced neuroinflammation
