Analysis and characterization of nervous system defects in candidate mutations resulting from a mutagenesis screen in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterised by the selective loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain. A potential strategy to treat PD involves directing stem cell differentiation into DA progenitors. Before this can be achieved, there is a need to identify additional genes that regulate DA...
