C. elegans Model Identifies Genetic Modifiers of α-Synuclein Inclusion Formation During Aging

Inclusions in the brain containing α-synuclein are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, but how these inclusions are formed and how this links to disease is poorly understood. We have developed a C. elegans model that makes it possible to monitor, in living animals, the formation o...
