α-synuclein oligomers interact with ATP synthase and open the permeability transition pore in Parkinson’s disease

How toxic aggregated forms of α-synuclein lead to neurodegeneration is unclear. Here authors use biophysical and cellular imaging methods to show that specific oligomers of α-synuclein exert effects on mitochondria to induce opening of the permeability transition pore, leading to cell death in Parki...
