Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein (α-Syn) plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). α-Syn has been extensively studied in many neuronal cell-based PD models but has yielded mixed results. The objective of this study was to re-evaluate the dual cytotoxic/protective roles of α-Syn in dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells. Stable SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing wild type or familial α-Syn mutants (A30P, E46K and A53T)...
