dnj-14 : a new C. elegans model for neurodegenerative diseases

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Human neurodegenerative diseases are becoming an increasing burden on society as populations age. However, the underlying mechanisms that cause age-dependent neurodegeneration still remain unclear. Consequently, therapies for these debilitating and eventually fatal disorders are lacking. Simple model organisms have great potential for uncovering conserved mechanisms of neurodegeneration and thus for identifying ne...
