Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common movement disorders with loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of Lewy bodies in certain brain areas. However, it is not clear how Lewy body (inclusion with protein aggregation) formation occurs. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) can cause a genetic form of PD and contribute to sporadic PD with the typical Lewy body pathology. Here, we used...
