Abstract excerpt
Many neurodegenerative diseases are linked with formation of amyloid aggregates. It is increasingly accepted that not the fibrils but rather oligomeric species are responsible for degeneration of neuronal cells. Strong evidence suggests that in Parkinson's disease (PD), cytotoxic α-synuclein (αSN) oligomers are key to pathogenicity. Nevertheless, insight into the oligomers' molecular properties remains scarce....
