About this Research Topic
Model organisms represent an invaluable resource for fundamental and applied research, allowing for prediction studies, modeling, and the identification of action mechanisms.
This article collection will discuss the use of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing neuroinflammation and neuropathy in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and with a special focus on noncoding RNAs.
This article collections welcomes original research, reviews, hypothesis and theory articles, opinion pieces, and commentaries that discuss the advantages and limitations of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism.
All articles will undergo a rigorous peer review process and will be published in the Research Topic as and when they are accepted.
Keywords: model organism, drosophila melanogaster, fruit fly, neuroinflammation, neuropathy, noncoding RNA, neurodegeneration
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements.
