What is it about?

We developed an organotypic culture of substantia nigra as a model of Parkinson's disease. The cultures were treated with a low dose of rotenone and the neuronal degeneration was followed for 96 hours, analyzing the pathological process involved.

Why is it important?

We create a new model to analyze the molecular events involved in the development of the disease and to test neuroprotective drugs.
