Functions of Intracellular Alpha-Synuclein in Microglia: Implications for Parkinson’s Disease Risk
Alpha-synuclein accumulation in dopaminergic neurons is one of the primary features of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Despite its toxic properties during PD, alpha-synuclein has some important physiological functions. Although the activity of the protein has been extensively studied in neurons, the prote...
