Abstract excerpt
Recent works suggest that alpha-synuclein could play a central role in Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, two mutations were reported to be associated with rare autosomal dominant forms of the disease. We examined whether alpha-synuclein could modulate the caspase-mediated response and vulnerability of murine neurons in response to various apoptotic stimuli. We established TSM1 neuronal cell lines overexpressing...
