Alpha-synuclein aggregation involves a bafilomycin A<sub>1</sub>-sensitive autophagy pathway
13 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Synucleinopathies like Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are characterized by α-synuclein aggregates within neurons (Lewy bodies) and their processes (Lewy neurites). Whereas α-synuclein has been genetically linked to the disease process, the pathological relevance of α-synuclein aggregates is still debated. Impaired degradation is considered to result in aggregation of α-synuclein. In...
