Preclinical Detection of Alpha-Synuclein Seeding Activity in the Colon of a Transgenic Mouse Model of Synucleinopathy by RT-QuIC
In synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy body (DLB), pathological alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates are found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as well as in the brain. In this study, using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC), we investigated the pres...
