Single injection of small-molecule amyloid accelerator results in cell death of nigral dopamine neurons in mice

The assembly process of α-synuclein toward amyloid fibers is linked to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease. In the present study, we capitalized on the in vitro discovery of a small-molecule accelerator of α-synuclein amyloid formation and assessed its effects when injected in brains of normal...
