Distinct Effects of Familial Parkinson’s Disease-Associated Mutations on α-Synuclein Phase Separation and Amyloid Aggregation

Distinct Effects of Familial Parkinson’s Disease-Associated Mutations on α-Synuclein Phase Separation and Amyloid Aggregation

The Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites are key pathological hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Single-point mutations associated with familial PD cause α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation, leading to the formation of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Recent studies suggest α-Syn nucleates through liquid–liq...
