Proteopathic brain lesions are a hallmark of many age-related neurodegenerative diseases including synucleinopathies and develop at least a decade before the onset of clinical symptoms. This work carried out by the DZNE team allows to better understand the initiation and propagation of such lesions, a key knowledge for developing therapeutics to delay or halt disease progression.
