Drosophila melanogaster as a model to study autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases induced by proteinopathies
Proteinopathies are a large group of neurodegenerative diseases caused by both genetic and sporadic mutations in particular genes which can lead to alterations of the protein structure and to the formation of aggregates, especially toxic for neurons. Autophagy is a key mechanism for clearing those a...
