Elevated α-synuclein attenuates phagocytosis in <i>SNCA</i> triplication human iPSC-derived neuron:microglia co-cultures
2022-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) are characterized by pathologic production, aggregation, and cell-to-cell transmission of α-synuclein (α-syn) protein that results in impaired cellular function. While neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta express high levels of α-synuclein and are highly vulnerable to its aberrant expression or conformation, brain-resident macrophages (microglia) are also...
