Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases are the outcome of pathological alterations of evolutionary conserved molecular and cellular cascades. For this reason, Drosophila and C. elegans serve as useful model systems to study various aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we introduce the advantageous use of cultured Aplysia neurons (which express over 100 disease-related gene homologs shared...
