Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by accumulation of abnormal isoforms of alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein is proposed to act as a prion in PD: in its misfolded pathologic state it favours the misfolding of normal alpha-synuclein molecules, spreads trans-neuronally, and causes neuronal or synaptic damage as it accumulates. This theory remains contr...
