Αlpha-Synuclein as a Mediator in the Interplay between Aging and Parkinson’s Disease
Accumulation and misfolding of the alpha-synuclein protein are core mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. While the normal function of alpha-synuclein is mainly related to the control of vesicular neurotransmission, its pathogenic effects are linked to various cellular functions, wh...
