Elucidating the role of α-synuclein on dopamine homeostasis using improved human dopaminergic cell models
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with cardinal motor symptoms linked to death of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Several findings place the protein cc-synuclein firmly at the centre of PD research. First, co-synuclein is the main component of Lewy bodies,...
