Abstract excerpt
A key challenge in Parkinson's disease research is to understand mechanisms underlying selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons mediated by genetic factors such as alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn). The present study examined whether dopamine (DA)-dependent oxidative stress underlies alpha-Syn-mediated neurodegeneration using Drosophila primary neuronal cultures. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used to...
