Our work proposing an early-stage model that challenges the traditional aggregation-centric views for protein deposit (Lewy body) formation in Parkinson's Disease was featured in The Hindu today ! Link: nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

Our latest study in @CommsBio revisits how α-synuclein drives Lewy bodies formation. We propose a new concept: 👉 Multifactorial Random Disorder Model to explain how diverse biomolecules are sequestered during LB formation. rdcu.be/eYtHr #ParkinsonsDisease #LewyBodies #AlphaSynuclein #Neurodegeneration #Biomarkers #DrugDiscovery

A reviewer commented: "α-Synuclein physiological and non-physiological roles have been under debate for decades. The current manuscript is a very important contribution to this long-standing conundrum, opening new avenues of thinking and new experiments to be done."
