α-Synuclein Strains: Does Amyloid Conformation Explain the Heterogeneity of Synucleinopathies?
Synucleinopathies are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases with amyloid deposits that contain the α-synuclein (SNCA/α-Syn) protein as a common hallmark. It is astonishing that aggregates of a single protein are able to give rise to a whole range of different disease manifestations. Th...
