Mutations in C. elegans neuroligin-like glit-1, the apoptosis pathway and the calcium chaperone crt-1 increase dopaminergic neurodegeneration after 6-OHDA treatment
Sarah-Lena Offenburger, Elisabeth Jongsma, Anton Gartner
This study identifies genes that protect C. elegans dopaminergic neurons from oxidative stress, showing that glit-1, tsp-17, the apoptosis pathway, and crt-1 are required to prevent 6-OHDA-induced neurodegeneration.
