Enhanced detection of distinct honeycomb-structured neuronal SMARCC2 cytobodies in Parkinson’s Disease via Cyclic Heat-Induced Epitope Retrieval (CHIER)
Antigen retrieval is crucial for immunohistochemistry, particularly in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissue, where fixation causes extensive crosslinking that masks epitopes. Heat Induced Epi...

We asked one question:
From onset to advancement: the temporal spectrum of α-synuclein in synucleinopathies
This review provides an in-depth analysis of the complex role of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) in the development of α-synucleinopathies, with a particular …
