Spongecake and eggroll: two hereditary diseases in Drosophila resemble patterns of human brain degeneration.

Current biology : CB - 1 Nov 1997

Min K T, Benzer S

Abstract excerpt

Various neuronal degenerative diseases are characterized by late onset, relentless progression, and finally death. Many have a direct genetic basis; others are of still unknown etiological mechanisms [1,2]. The study of human neurodegenerative diseases is complicated by the difficulty of obtaining tissue samples at various stages of progression, especially early in the course of the disease. Since...
