Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation and Spread: Implications for the Pathology and Progression of Neurodegenerative Diseases
2023-12-08
Abstract excerpt
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson’s, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, involve neuron degeneration linked to the misfolding of amyloidogenic proteins, resulting in β-sheet-enriched aggregates. This phenomenon disrupts the normal folding of proteins critical for cellular function. Genetic mutations, proteolytic cleavage, oxidative stress, and aging contribute to...
