Lewy body-like alpha-synuclein inclusions trigger reactive microgliosis prior to nigral degeneration

Abstract Background Converging evidence suggests a role for microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Animal models of PD can serve as a platform to investigate the role of neuroinflammation in degeneration in PD. However, due to features of the previously available PD models...
