Study discovers how new blood serum test detect neurodegenerative disorder
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders caused by an aberrant accumulation of a-synuclein, a protein present in the brain and neurons. Incorrect a-synuclein folding results in the production of'seeds,' which attract more -synuclein proteins to build larger clumps. Although a-synucl
