Behavioural investigation of normal and mutant human presenilin functions in caenorhabditis elegans
Presenilins are well known as sites of mutations responsible for early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The normal functions of presenilins and the mechanisms by which presenilins cause Alzheimer disease are not yet known. Conservation of cellular and molecular functions between the C.elegans and hum...
