Study finds how mutant protein can invade brain
In many neurodegenerative diseases, aberrant proteins build up and spread throughout the brain over time. But aggregation or propagation—which comes first? Japanese researchers offer some fresh perspectives on the mechanism underlying Parkinson's illness. In a study published recently in Cell Reports, researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have shown that a mutated version of a protein called α-synuclein propagates to various cerebral regions through the lymphatic system and then aggregates.
