Optogenetic-mediated induction and monitoring of α-synuclein aggregation in cellular models of Parkinson’s disease
Summary: Studying Parkinson’s disease (PD) is complex due to a lack of cellular models mimicking key aspects of protein pathology. Here, we present a protocol for inducing and monitoring α-synuclein aggregation in living cells using optogenetics. We describe steps for plasmid transduction, biochemic...
