Abstract
α-Synuclein resides in Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease. Ordonez et al. (2017) now show that α-syn disrupts the actin network, causing Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission defects. This is similar to defects induced by the PD risk factor Tau, suggesting converging pathways in neurodegeneration.Entities:
