Refining α-synuclein seed amplification assays to distinguish Parkinson’s disease from multiple system atrophy by James A. Wiseman, Clinton P. Turner, Richard L. M. Faull, Glenda M. Halliday, Birger Victor Dieriks

“…MSA α-Syn seeds induce faster propagation and exhibit higher aggregation kinetics than PD α-Syn, mirroring the biological differences observed in brain tissue. With further validation of these quantitative parameters, we propose that SAAs could advance from a yes/no diagnostic to a theranostic biomarker that could be utilised in developing therapeutics.…”
