Abstract excerpt
Compounding evidence suggests that alpha-synuclein (SNCA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) by inducing neurotoxicity. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that undergo fusion and fission processes, the imbalance of which has been viewed as a key trigger for PD. However, the underlying relationship between SNCA and mitochondrial dynamics remains unclear. This study...
