Functionally different α-synuclein inclusions yield insight into Parkinson’s disease pathology
17 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
The formation of α-synuclein (α-S) amyloid aggregates, called Lewy bodies (LBs), is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The function of LBs in the disease process is however still unclear; they have been associated with both neuroprotection and toxicity.
