Angiotensin type 1 receptor activation promotes neuronal and glial alpha-synuclein aggregation and transmission
Abstract The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been related to dopaminergic degeneration, and high expression of the angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT1) gene is a marker of the most vulnerable neurons in humans. However, it is unknown whether AngII/AT1 overactivation affects α-synucl...
