Insights from Drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease.
AD (Alzheimer's disease) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau and the misfolding and deposition of Abeta peptide. The mechanisms by which tau and Abeta become abnormal is not clearly understood, neither is it known what role either protein plays in the neurodegenerative process underlying AD....
متن کاملExchanger from Drosophila melanogaster
Ion transport and regulation were studied in two, alternatively spliced isoforms of the Na 1 -Ca 2 1 exchanger from Drosophila melanogaster . These exchangers, designated CALX1.1 and CALX1.2, differ by five amino acids in a region where alternative splicing also occurs in the mammalian Na 1 -Ca 2 1 exchanger, NCX1. The CALX isoforms were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and characterized ele...

The assumption must be that different tools achieve different effects, and the ones we choose reflect our perception as to the needs of the individual and/or of the tissues involved. Sledgehammer...
متن کاملLifespan Extension by the Antioxidant Curcumin in Drosophila Melanogaster
The interest in health benefits associated with consumption of anti-oxidants has led to investigations examining the possibility that diets rich in anti-oxidants promote lifespan extension. Studies using the standard fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) model of longevity have shown that the antioxidants vitamin E and N-acetyl cysteine prolong lifespan. Turmeric is a spice which has been consume...
