Proteostasis dysregulation in p.A53T-α-Synuclein iPSC-derived astrocytes exacerbates neurodegeneration in a Parkinson's disease model with Lewy-like pathology

Christina Paschou, Olympia Apokotou, Αναστάσιος Κόλλιας, Konstantina Charmpi, Sofia Dede, Martina K. Samiotaki, Francesca Palese, Konstantina Dimoula, Evangelia Emmanouilidou, Era Taoufik, Chiara Zurzolo, Rebecca Matsas, Florentia Papastefanaki

This study shows that p.A53T-α-Synuclein astrocytes from Parkinson's patients impair proteostasis, leading to neurodegeneration and Lewy-like pathology in co-cultured neurons.
