Genetic variation in neurodegenerative diseases and its accessibility in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans.

abstract：:Perifosine belongs to the class of alkylphospholipid analogues, which act primarily at the cell membrane, thereby targeting signal transduction pathways. In phase I/II clinical trials, perifosine has induced tumour regression and caused disease stabilisation in a variety of tumour types. The genetic determinants respo...
