Initiation and progression of α-synuclein pathology in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract excerpt

α-Synuclein aggregation is a critical molecular process that underpins the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Aggregates may originate at synaptic terminals as a consequence of aberrant interactions between α-synuclein and lipids or evasion of proteostatic defences.
