Abstract excerpt
Biochemical and genetic abnormalities of alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other alpha-synucleinopathies. The abnormal intraneuronal accumulations of alpha-Syn in Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs) have implicated defects in axonal transport of alpha-Syn in the alpha-synucleinopathies. Using human (Hu) alpha-Syn transgenic (Tg) mice, we have...
