Abstract:Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease are synucleinopathies that are defined by the presence of aggregated and hyperphosphorylated a-synuclein (a-syn) within cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent findings suggest that pathological a-syn may spread prion-like within the nervous system. We investigated prion-like propagation of pathological a-syn in Tg(SNCA)1Nbm/J mice that do not express mouse but low levels of human wt a-syn and do not naturally develop any pathology or neurodegener… Show more
