A high-fidelity microfluidic platform reveals retrograde propagation as the main mechanism of α-Synuclein spread in human neurons

Abstract α-Synuclein (αSyn) is a major component of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, which are a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Pathologically aggregated forms of αSyn can spread along neurites and induce the misfolding of normal αSyn. To elucidate how αSyn pathology propagates bet...
