abstract：:The Parkinson's disease (PD) substantia nigra is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies containing fibrillar alpha-synuclein. Early-onset PD has been linked to two point mutations in the gene that encodes alpha-synuclein, suggesting that disease may arise from accelerated fibrillization. However, the identity of...
