Improvements of Motor Performances in the Drosophila LRRK2 Loss-of-Function Model of Parkinson’s Disease: Effects of Dialyzed Leucocyte Extracts from Human Serum

Within neurodegenerative syndromes, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is typically associated with its locomotor defects, sleep disturbances and related dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster), with leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 mutants (LRRK2) loss-of-function in the WD40 domain, provides mechanistic insights into corresponding human behaviour, possibly disclosing some physiopathologic features of PD in...
