Thanks to @ScienceofPD for highlighting our recent work!

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New paper from @MooreLabVAI & colleagues reports that the neuropathology in an α-synuclein preformed fibril mouse model occurs independent of the #Parkinsons-associated lysosomal ATP13A2 protein

Exciting new research from the lab demonstrating the effects of adult-onset deletion of PD-associated ATP13A2 on the nigrostriatal pathway and lysosomal biology! Great work, Dr. Erb and colleagues.

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New research from @MooreLabVAI & @VAInstitute colleagues reports adult-onset deletion (via AAV-Cre) of #Parkinsons-associated ATP13A2 (PARK9) in mice induces progressive nigrostriatal pathway dopaminergic degeneration & lysosomal abnormalities

Our Public Lecture Series continues Sept. 6 with "2023 Parkinson’s Update: What’s new? What’s next?" feat. Dr. Darren Moore (@MooreLabVAI) and Dr. Laurent Roybon. The lecture is free to attend, and in-person and virtual options are available. Register: https://t.co/fIKlMHsSr4

[Moore Lab @MooreLabVAI]

New work from the Moore Lab! Our recent Ph.D. graduate, Dr. Dylan Dues, and his colleagues demonstrate that alpha-synuclein pathology is independent of LRRK2 in a forebrain PFF mouse model.

'#VPS35 and α-#synuclein fail to interact to modulate #neurodegeneration in rodent models of #Parkinsons disease'

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New research from @XiChen7889 & @MooreLabVAI colleagues reports limited interaction between VPS35 & α-Synuclein in the modulation of neurodegeneration in rodent models of #Parkinsons; They finish by asking is Lewy pathology a feature of VPS35-linked PD?
