主 题:degenerative dysfunction involvement
摘 要:α-Synucleinopathies are a subgroup of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB)and Parkinson’s disease(PD).Pathologically,these disorders can be characterized by the presence of intraneuronal aggregates composed mainly of α-synuclein(αSyn),which are called Lewy bodies and Lewy *** report showed that more than 90% of αSyn aggregates are present in the form of very small deposits in presynaptic terminals of the affected neurons in ***,the mechanisms responsible for presynaptic accumulation of abnormal αSyn remain *** this article,we review recent findings on the involvement of presynaptic dysfunction in the initiation of neuronal dysfunctional *** review highlights that the presynaptic failure can be a potential trigger of the dying-back neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases.
