Interactions between Tau and α-synuclein augment neurotoxicity in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease
14 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Clinical and pathological studies have suggested considerable overlap between tauopathies and synucleinopathies. Several genome-wide association studies have identified alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) and Tau (MAPT) polymorphisms as common risk factors for sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanisms by which subtle variations in the expression of wild-type SNCA and MAPT influence risk for PD and the...
