Yale study identifies two neuron-surface proteins that help misfolded alpha-synuclein enter brain cells
Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine say they have identified two proteins on the surface of neurons that help shuttle misfolded alpha-synuclein—a key protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease—into healthy cells, a finding that could point to new strategies aimed at slowing progression.
