Abstract excerpt
Microglia are brain resident immune cells that maintain proteostasis and cellular homeostasis. Recent findings suggest that microglia dysfunction could contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). One of the hallmarks of PD is the aggregation and accumulation of alpha-synuclein (αSyn) into Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. Microglia may worsen the neuronal microenvironment by persistent inflammation,...
