IPSC-derived midbrain astrocytes from Parkinson’s disease patients carrying pathogenic <i>SNCA</i> mutations exhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation, mitochondrial fragmentation and excess calcium release

2020-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of A9 midbrain dopaminergic neurons and the accumulation of alpha-synuclein aggregates in remaining neurons. Many studies of the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegeneration in PD have made use of iPSC-derived neurons from patients with familial PD mutations. However, approximately half of the cells in the brain are glia, and their role facilitating neurod...
