What are the Therapeutic Implications of Alpha Synuclein Research?

Understanding the role of alpha synuclein in neurodegenerative diseases has significant therapeutic implications. Targeting the pathways involved in alpha synuclein aggregation and toxicity could lead to the development of novel treatments for synucleinopathies. Potential strategies include small molecules that inhibit aggregation, immunotherapy approaches that target alpha synuclein, and gene therapy techniques to modulate its expression.
