New research from @kunathlab.bsky.social & colleagues reports G51D mutagenesis of the endogenous Snca rat gene caused reduced synaptic localisation of #Parkinsons-associated α-synuclein, proteomic evidence of early synaptic dysfunction, & ⬆️ propensity for α-syn path

I’m really pleased the brilliant work by Stephen West and Ammar Natalwala - 2 very talented PhD students - is now out in @braincomms.bsky.social
West and Natalwala et al. report on the first Parkinson’s α-synuclein mutation rat model. A single glycine-to-aspartic acid change at codon 51 in the Snca gene reduced localisation of αSyn to synapses and increased Lewy pathology acquisition. Read at buff.ly/INqAMcL

This was the most fun I’ve had in a while. Kuhan and Dave were so lovely to chat with 😃@2parkiesinapod.bsky.social
Dave’s knickers, Kuhan’s brain surgery, velcro, ukuleles, rollercoasters, lip biting, freezing cockroaches, dolly the sheep, stem cell therapy, reversing #parkinsons, pedicures, laughter & a few tears …it must be a new episode of 2parkiesinapod.com ! with Prof @kunathlab.bsky.social #2parkiesinapod
