Network analysis of α-synuclein pathology progression reveals p21-activated kinases as regulators of vulnerability

Misfolded α-synuclein accumulation in PD leads to pathogenic processes. We mapped α-synuclein pathology in mice to identify vulnerable regions and potential therapeutic targets, highlighting group II PAK inhibitors as promising for treating PD.

Vibrational Stabilization of Complex Network Systems

Many natural and man-made network systems need to maintain certain patterns, such as working at equilibria or limit cycles, to function properly. The authors provide some numerical results that demonstrate the validity of the theoretical findings.

A topographical atlas of α-synuclein dosage and cell type-specific expression in adult mouse brain and peripheral organs

This atlas provides much-needed insight into the cellular topography of αSyn, and provides a quantitative map to test assumptions about the role of αSyn in network vulnerability in PD and other αSynucleinopathies.
