One of the hallmarks of Parkinson's Disease (PD) is aggregation of incorrectly folded α-synuclein (SNCA) protein resulting in selective death of dopaminergic neurons.

Expansion of the Parkinson disease-associated SNCA- Rep1 allele upregulates human α-synuclein in transgenic mouse brain [PDF]
Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) gene has been implicated in the development of rare forms of familial Parkinson disease (PD). Recently, it was shown that an increase in SNCA copy numbers leads to elevated levels of wild-type SNCA-mRNA and protein and is ...

Targeting SNCA in the treatment of malignant ascites in gastrointestinal cancer
Peritoneal tumor dissemination and subsequent malignant tumor ascites (MTA) occur unexpectedly and repeatedly in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and worsen quality of life and prognosis of the patients. Various treatments have been clinically developed for these patients, while most of the MTA cases are refractory to the treatments.

Duplication of the SNCA gene (SNCA(Dupl)), linked to elevated levels of α-synuclein (aSyn), is a genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our prior work with human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–derived midbrain neurons generated from patients ...

The autophagy-lysosomal pathway is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and survival of neurons, hence defects in this system have been associated with neurodegeneration, including Parkinson's disease (PD).

Alpha-synuclein, encoded by the SNCA gene, is a pivotal protein implicated in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease. Current approaches for modulating alpha-synuclein levels involve anti- sense nucleotides, siRNAs, and ...
