FOXO3 determines the accumulation of α-synuclein and controls the fate of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra
24 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the selective degeneration of neuronal populations presumably due to pathogenic interactions between aging and predisposing factors such as increased levels of α-synuclein. Here, we genetically modulate the activity of the transcription factor Forkhead box protein O3 (FOXO3) in adult nigral dopaminergic neurons using viral vectors and explore how this determinant of...
