    Neuropathology of Multiple System Atrophy, a Glioneuronal Degenerative Disease

    Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal disease characterized pathologically by the widespread occurrence of aggregated α-synuclein in the oligodendrocytes referred to as glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). ...

    Development and validation of an expanded antibody toolset that captures alpha-synuclein pathological diversity in Lewy body diseases

    The abnormal aggregation and accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in the brain is a defining hallmark of synucleinopathies. Various aSyn conformations and post-translationally modified forms accumulate in pa...
