Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein is a major component of Lewy bodies in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) as well as of neuronal/glial inclusions in a subset of neurodegenerative disorders collectively termed synucleinopathies. Here we studied by immunohistochemistry the accumulation of alpha-synuclein in transgenic (TG) Drosophila overexpressing wild-type (WT) or familial PD-linked mutant (i.e. A30P and A53T)...
