Age-related increase in caveolin-1 expression facilitates cell-to-cell transmission of α-synuclein in neurons
28 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, with aging being considered the greatest risk factor for developing PD. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is known to participate in the aging process. Recent evidence indicates that prion-like propagation of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) released from neurons to neighboring neurons plays an important role in PD progression. In the present study,...
