Are We Ready for Detecting α-Synuclein Prone to Aggregation in Patients? The Case of “Protein-Misfolding Cyclic Amplification” and “Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion” as Diagnostic Tools
The accumulation and deposition of α-synuclein aggregates in brain tissue is the main event in the pathogenesis of different neurodegenerative disorders grouped under the term of synucleinopathies. They include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. To date,...
