Study Rationale:                            

Our Team’s research shows that special forms of α-synuclein protein extracted or amplified from biospecimen donations from people with Parkinson’s disease...

Study Rationale:                         

People affected by Parkinson’s experience a range of sleep problems such as excessive daytime sleeping and difficulty sleeping at night. These issues can make...

Study Rationale: 

Filamentous aggregates of the protein alpha-synuclein underlie several neurodegenerative diseases, called synucleinopathies. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common...

Study Rationale:                         

Age is the single most significant risk factor for developing Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the mechanisms by which aging contributes to PD are not well...

Study Rationale:                         

In Parkinson’s disease (PD), it is clear that the alpha-synuclein protein accumulates in specific neurons, thereby damaging them to cause neurological symptoms...

Study Rationale:          

Parkinson's disease involves multiple abnormal proteins—α-synuclein, tau, and TDP-43—that clump together in brain cells. These protein clumps don't act alone; they work...
