Parkinson’s Researchers May Finally Have a Mouse Model to Test New Treatments
An animal model capable of reproducing the formation of α-synuclein fibrils and, consequently, Lewy bodies — the major pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease — has finally been developed. Researchers reporting this achievement, in a study titled “Induction of de novo α-synuclein fibrillization in a novel neuronal model for Parkinson’s disease” and…
