Modulating the catalytic activity of AMPK has neuroprotective effects against α-synuclein toxicity

BACKGROUND: Metabolic perturbations and slower renewal of cellular components associated with aging increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Declining activity of AMPK, a critical cellular energy sensor, may therefore contribute to neurodegeneration. METHODS: Here, we overexpress various genet...
