Phospholipase D functional ablation has a protective effect in an Alzheimer’s disease Caenorhabditis elegans model

Abstract Phospholipase D (PLD) is a key player in the modulation of multiple aspects of cell physiology and has been proposed as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we characterize a PLD mutant, pld-1, using the Caenorhabditis elegans animal model. We show that pld-1 animals pre...
