Requirement of Notch in adulthood for neurological function and longevity.

Abstract excerpt

Although Notch proteins rely upon presenilins for activation and can modulate neuritic architecture, their role in aging adults and Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Here we examine Drosophila in which Notch function was selectively diminished in adulthood. An outcrossing strategy was employed to reduce the effect of recessive modifiers of lifespan, and a temperature-sensitive allele or inducible dominant-negative...
