Tire components, age and temperature accelerate neurodegeneration in C. elegans models of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
18 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Increasingly, traffic-related air pollution is linked with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. The molecular pathways underlying the epidemiologic observations are unknown. In this study, models of neurodegenerative disorders in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans were used to investigate effects of the tire wear component nano silica. Life span-resolved exposition of...
