Enhancing mitochondrial proteolysis alleviates alpha-synuclein-mediated cellular toxicity

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn)-containing protein aggregates known as Lewy bodies (LB). Here, we investigated the entry of α-Syn into mitochondria to cause mitochondri...
