Regional deficiencies in chaperone-mediated autophagy underlie α-synuclein aggregation and neurodegeneration
In neurodegenerative diseases, it remains unclear why certain brain regions are selectively vulnerable to protein aggregation. In transgenic mice expressing human A53T α-synuclein, the brainstem and spinal cord develop the most prominent α-synuclein inclusions which correlate with age-dependent moto...
