This sounds to me like a-synuclein is protective rather than causative...in which case therapies, including Affiris' PD vaccine they are working on (which I understand keeps a-synuclein plaques from forming and/or busts them up?) would make things worse, not better? Tell me it isn't so.

I'm hoping they know something we do not because I can't understand how they can block something when they don't know it's function in the first place.
