New worm strain to facilitate study of Alzheimer's disease

Researchers from Yale-NUS College have partnered with researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and SingHealth Group to develop a novel Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worm strain which expresses an amyloid beta protein fragment involved in the development of human Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). This strain will serve as a tool for the testing of interventions against AD and to help researchers understand the disease better.
