Heat Shock Protein 70 Reduces α‐Synuclein‐Induced Predegenerative Neuronal Dystrophy in the α‐Synuclein Viral Gene Transfer Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
27 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: It has become increasingly evident that the nigrostriatal degeneration associated with Parkinson's disease initiates at the level of the axonal terminals in the putamen, and this nigrostriatal terminal dystrophy is either caused or exacerbated by the presence of α-synuclein immunopositive neuronal inclusions. Therefore, strategies aimed at reducing α-synuclein-induced early neuronal dystrophy may slow or...
