Antisense oligonucleotides targeting alpha-synuclein reduce pre-formed fibril-induced Lewy pathology and improve some domains of cognitive and motor performance
2020-10-21
Abstract excerpt
Alpha-synuclein (αsyn) is a small protein involved in neurodegenerative diseases known as synucleinopathies. The phosphorylated form (psyn) is the primary component of protein aggregates known as Lewy bodies (LBs), which are the hallmark of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Synucleinopathies might spread in a prion-like fashion, leading to a progressive emergence of sym...
