Expression of Cacophony Protein Restores Motor Defects in Fruit Flies, New Study Shows
Expression of the calcium channel Cacophony in certain motor neurons restored motor defects in a fruit fly model with TDP-43 loss, a condition found in neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia, a new study shows. The study, “Restoration of motor defects caused by loss…
