Abstract excerpt
Fibrillization of α-synuclein is instrumental for the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), thus modulating this process can have profound impact on disease initiation/progression. Here, the impact of the p.G2019S mutation of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), which is most frequently associated with familial and sporadic PD, on α-synuclein pathology was investigated. G2019S knock-in mice and wild-type...
