RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Effects of pharmacological modulators of α-synuclein and tau aggregation and internalization

The OMG-GOE team developed a simple laboratory model system to investigate the mechanisms leading to the aggregation and propagation of specific proteins, directly linked with two common neurodegenerative disorders, Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study published in Nature in July 2020, they assessed the effects of molecules on the aggregation and internalisation of tau and α-syn and identified some that can decrease α-syn and/or tau aggregation. Establishing the effects of small molecules with different chemical properties on the aggregation and spreading of α-syn and tau will be important for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
