Spreading of α-synuclein in the face of axonal transport deficits in Parkinson's disease: A speculative synthesis

Parkinson's disease (PD) is mainly attributed to degeneration of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra, but its etiopathogenesis also includes impaired protein clearance and axonal transport dysfunction, among others. The spread of α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates from one neuron to another, i...
