Abstract:Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), are neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded alpha‐synuclein protein. Developing effective vaccines against synucleinopathies is challenging due to the difficulty of stimulating an immune‐specific response against alpha‐synuclein without causing harmful autoimmune reactions, selectively targeting only pathological forms of alpha‐synuclein. Previous attempts using… Show more
