Synaptic decline precedes dopaminergic neuronal loss in human midbrain organoids harboring a triplication of the <i>SNCA</i> gene

2021-07-15

Abstract excerpt

1. Increased levels of the protein alpha-synuclein (α-syn) are associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease (PD). In physiological conditions, α-syn modulates synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis and neuronal survival. However, its pathogenic accumulation and aggregation results in toxicity and neurodegeneration. Here, we used a PD patient specific midbrain organoid model der...
