Excess α-synuclein compromises phagocytosis in iPSC-derived macrophages

Abstract To examine the pathogenic role of α-synuclein (αS) in Parkinson’s Disease, we have generated induced Pluripotent Stem Cell lines from early onset Parkinson’s Disease patients with SNCA A53T and SNCA Triplication mutations, and in this study have differentiated them to PSC-macrophages (pMac)...
