Abstract excerpt
Pathological modifications in the microtubule-associated protein Tau is a common characteristic observed in different neurological diseases, suggesting that analogous metabolic pathways might be similarly affected during neurodegeneration. To identify these molecules and mechanisms, we utilized Drosophila models of human Tau-mediated neurodegeneration to perform an RNA interference functional screening against...
