Happy to have contributed to this fantastic study on associations between aSyn and DNA damage

I'm sure there will be some celebrating, and a few sore heads tomorrow!

Early Possible Signs of Lewy Body Dementia:πŸ”Ž Start looking for early symptoms around ages 55-65, as LBD often develops between 50-85 years of age.

1️⃣ Cognitive changes: Fluctuating attention, alertness, or thinking ability

The Alpha Synuclein Tug of War: A Call for Academic Civility and Open-mindedness My dear colleagues, this month’s issue of Parkinsonism and Related Disorders features a Point of View paper by Espay et al entitled, β€œThe Ξ±-Synuclein Seed Amplification Assay: Interpreting a Test of Parkinson’s Pathology” [1]. In this article, the authors caution those who jump on the synuclein bandwagon all too quickly. They present their viewpoints regarding the weaknesses of using alpha synuclein seed amplification assay (Ξ±Syn-SAA) as a basis for the biological staging of Parkinson disease (PD).

Great editorial from Hubert Fernandez on an important paper led by @albertoespay.bsky.social, to which I contributed a small amount, on the role of aSyn in #Lewy body diseases. Open-mindedness is key, none of us have all the answers and we all have the same goal.

Hello everyone, happy to share my first post here on BSky. I've moved over from Twitter and looking forward to seeing and discussing interesting science here. Please give me a follow if you're interested in #Lewy body diseases or #lysosomal storage disorders.
Thank you!
