Cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein aggregates by cell surface heparan sulfate depends on aggregate conformation and cell type

Abstract Amyloid aggregates found in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, are thought to spread to increasingly larger areas of the brain through a prion-like seeding mechanism. Not much is known about which cell surface receptors may...
