Default alpha-synuclein

olsen -

when Bill Langston (director of the group that authored this study) spoke at the PAN forum in February, he stated that he thought alpha-synuclein was the key to PD - but the mechanism was far from clear. it was really funny - someone in the crowd asked him something like, "what is the role of alpha-synuclein?" and he answered, "if I knew that, then I would be in Stockholm right now!" sounds like their research is coming closer; maybe that Nobel will be his one day. we can only hope.

thanks for posting this.
