Accumulation of alpha-synuclein within the liver, potential role in the clearance of brain pathology associated with Parkinson’s disease

Our results reveal that α-syn accumulates within the liver and may be derived from the brain or other peripheral sources. Collectively, our findings indicate that the liver may play a role in the clearance and detoxification of pathological proteins in PD and related synucleinopathies. CLICK TO REVIEW
