Abstract excerpt
Microglial neuroinflammatory processes play a primary role in dopaminergic neurodegeneration for Parkinson's disease (PD). This can occur, in part, by modulation of glial function following activation by soluble or insoluble modified alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a chief component of Lewy bodies that is released from affected dopaminergic neurons. alpha-Syn is nitrated during oxidative stress responses and in its...
