Formation of seeding-competent α-synuclein aggregates in parkin-deficient iPSC-derived human neurons

Abstract Loss-of-function mutations in PARK2 (parkin) cause early-onset familial Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may also contribute to sporadic PD. While Lewy bodies, enriched in aggregated phosphorylated α-synuclein (α-Syn), are typical in PD, their presence in PARK2-mediated PD remains debated. Usin...
