AIP-1 ameliorates β-amyloid peptide toxicity in a Caenorhabditis elegans Alzheimer's disease model
3 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Multiple neurodegenerative diseases are causally linked to aggregation-prone proteins. Cellular mechanisms involving protein turnover may be key defense mechanisms against aggregating protein disorders. We have used a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans Alzheimer's disease model to identify cellular responses to proteotoxicity resulting from expression of the human beta amyloid peptide (Abeta). We show...
