Transneuronal Propagation of Pathologic α-Synuclein from the Gut to the Brain Models Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: This study supports the Braak hypothesis in the etiology of idiopathic Parkinson's disease by assessing α- synucleinopathy in the brain in a novel gut-to-brain α-syn transmission mouse model, where pathologicalα-syn preformed fibrils were injected into the duodenal and pyloric muscularis layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poly(ADP-ribose) drives pathologic α-synuclein neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and the cellular cell death pathways that contribute to and drive α-synuclein PFF–mediated neuronal cell death are investigated, which indicates that PARP activation contributes to the pathogenesis of PD through parthanatos and conversion of α- syn to a more toxic strain.
