Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Elevated calcium (Ca 2+ ) levels and hyperactivation of the Ca 2+ -dependent phosphatase calcineurin are key factors in α-synuclein (α-syn) pathobiology in Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Calcineurin activity can be inhibited by FK506, an FDA-approved compound. Our previous work demonstrated that sub-saturating doses of FK506 provide neuroprotection against α-syn pa...
