Toxic clumping of the alpha-synuclein protein, a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, may lead to a calcium imbalance in which the mineral builds up to harmful levels in neurons early in the course of the neurodegenerative condition, according to a study in mouse and human cells. Single molecules of alpha-synuclein…
