Monkeys mutant for PKD1 recapitulate human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Nature Communications, 2019
Most cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are due to mutations in PKD1. Here, Tsukiyama et al. generate monkeys with mutations in PKD1 and show that animals recapitulate key pathological features of the human disease, suggesting ...

Animal Models of Parkinson's Disease [PDF]

Parkinson's Disease, 2011
Parkinson's disease (PD) is considered a multifactorial disorder, which is neuropathologically characterized by age-dependent neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. Different neurotoxins including synthetic compounds, heavy metals, and dopamine itself have been proposed to be environmental risk factors of PD.
