While you are proabably familiar with Alzheimer's disease (AD), the microscopic creatures named nematodes/roundworms may be a bit more foreign. Believe it or not, these tiny worms have much more in common with humans than it seems, having already helped us unravel important cellular processes like programmed cell death and RNA interference that occur in humans as well as these worms. Futhermore, they may yet hold the key to unlocking a cure for AD! Listen in to hear Momo Wisath Sae-Lee tell us about how nematodes are helping to answer important questions like what makes certain types of neurons more vulnerable to degredation than others, what genetic risk factors can lead to neural degeneration, and how nematodes can help us screen future drugs to eradticate this debilitating disease.
