Using membrane‐targeted green fluorescent protein to monitor neurotoxic protein‐dependent degeneration of Drosophila eyes
2 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Age-related neurodegeneration has been studied extensively through the use of model organisms, including the genetically versatile Drosophila melanogaster. Various neurotoxic proteins have been expressed in fly eyes to approximate degeneration occurring in humans, and much has been learned from this heterologous system. Although Drosophila expedites scientific research through rapid generational times and...
