Evolvability and Neurodegenerative Disease: Antagonistic Pleiotropy Phenomena Derived from Amyloid Aggregates
5 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
At present, the precise physiological role of neurodegenerative disease-related amyloidogenic proteins (APs), including α-synuclein in Parkinson's disease and β-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease, remains unclear. Because of similar adaptability of both human brain neurons and yeast cells to diverse environmental stressors, we previously proposed that the concept of evolvability in yeast prion could also be applied...
