The molecular chaperones DNAJB6 and Hsp70 cooperate to suppress α-synuclein aggregation

Abstract A major hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the presence of Lewy bodies (LBs) in certain neuronal tissues. LBs are protein-rich inclusions, in which α-synuclein (α-syn) is the most abundant protein. Since these inclusions are not present in healthy individuals, despite the high concentr...
