Transgenic nematodes as a model for Parkinson’s disease

Aggregation of the abundant neural protein α-synuclein contributes to cellular toxicity in Parkinson‘s disease. We have created transgenic nematodes carrying fusion constructs encoding human α-synuclein (S) tagged with YFP (V) and/or CFP (C) as a fluorescent marker. Using the unc-54 myosin promoter,...
