Transcriptome profiling of aging Drosophila photoreceptors reveals gene expression trends that correlate with visual senescence

Abstract Background Aging is associated with functional decline of neurons and increased incidence of both neurodegenerative and ocular disease. Photoreceptor neurons in Drosophila melanogaster provide a powerful model for studying the molecular changes involved in functional senescence of neurons s...
