Astrocytic atrophy as a pathological feature of Parkinson’s disease with LRRK2 mutation

Abstract The principal hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the selective neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurones. Mounting evidence suggests that astrocytes may contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration through decreased homoeostatic support and deficient neuroprotection. In this study, we...
