Breaking the proteasome balance: α-synuclein and the ubiquitin-proteasome system
Aging is the major risk factor for synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy. However, the molecular mechanisms linking aging to. α-Synuclein cytotoxicity remain incompletely understood. The progressive decline of proteostasis is central among these mechani...
