Dictyostelium discoideum as a Model for Investigating Neurodegenerative Diseases

27 Oct 2021

Abstract excerpt

The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a model organism that is used to investigate many cellular processes including chemotaxis, cell motility, cell differentiation, and human disease pathogenesis. While many single-cellular model systems lack homologs of human disease genes, Dictyostelium’s genome encodes for many genes that are implicated in human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases. Due to...
