Work led by Arpine Sokratian in Andy West's lab unveils the structural underpinnings of alpha-synuclein pathogenicity: Mouse alpha-synuclein fibrils display unique features compared to humans, impacting disease models. More here: doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…
Interesting: @DukeWestLab @LashuelLab & collaborators report the first atomic structure of mouse α-synuclein fibrils, but find altered packing arrangements,⬇️hydrophobicity, &⬆️fragmentation sensitivity & weak immunological responses (vs human a-syn) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
New paper from @DukeWestLab et al present an ultra-sensitive version of a SiMOA (single-molecule array assay) for measures of LRRK2 kinase activity in serum linking #Parkinsons severity to peripheral inflam.; Accurate measures of pT73-Rab10 to total Rab10 …arneurodegeneration.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

New research from @DukeWestLab & collaborators reports that anionic nanoplastic contaminants potently precipitate the formation & propagation of #Parkinsons-associated α-synuclein protein fibrils, through a high-affinity interaction NAC domains in α-syn science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
