Neurodegenerative Disorders
A growing aging population means that age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders are affecting increasing numbers of people. Model systems have proven to be excellent tools for studying neurodegenerative processes, facilitating drug discovery in this area. DMM features reviews, research, resources, interviews and other articles, including specially commissioned content from our 2017 special issue Neurodegeneration: from Models to Mechanisms to Therapies, which was guest edited by Aaron Gitler and James Shorter.
