Found in Translation: The Utility of C. elegans Alpha-Synuclein Models of Parkinson’s Disease

28 Mar 2019

Abstract excerpt

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, yet the fundamental and underlying causes of the disease are largely unknown, and treatments remain sparse and impotent. Several biological systems have been employed to model the disease but the nematode roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) shows unique promise among these to disinter the elusive factors that may...
