Utility of an improved model of amyloid-beta (Aβ(1-42)) toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans for drug screening for Alzheimer’s disease
BACKGROUND: The definitive indicator of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology is the profuse accumulation of amyloid-ß (Aß) within the brain. Various in vitro and cell-based models have been proposed for high throughput drug screening for potential therapeutic benefit in diseases of protein misfolding....
