Abstract excerpt
Perturbations in protein folding and degradation are key pathological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent evidence suggests that mishandling of proteins may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. We have utilized medaka fish to monitor the effects of injecting neurotoxins into the CSF space. In this study, ammonium chloride, tunicamycin, and lactacystin...
