SIRT1 Protects against α-Synuclein Aggregation by Activating Molecular Chaperones
α-Synuclein is a key molecule in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathy including dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, and multiple system atrophy. Sirtuins are NAD[superscript +]-dependent protein deacetylases that are highly conserved and counter aging in lower organisms. We show that...
