Abstract excerpt
Genetic and biochemical evidence attributes neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) and related brain diseases to dyshomeostasis of the 14 kDa protein α-synuclein (αS). There is no consensus on how αS exerts toxicity. Explanations range from disturbed vesicle biology to proteotoxicity caused by fibrillar aggregates. To probe these mechanisms further, robust cellular toxicity models are needed, but their...
