Mechanisms of aging-related proteinopathies in Caenorhabditis elegans
7 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Aging is the most important risk factor for human neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Pathologically, these diseases are characterized by the deposition of specific protein aggregates in neurons and glia, representing the impairment of neuronal proteostasis. However, the mechanism by which aging affects the proteostasis system and promotes protein aggregation remains largely...
