Synthetic α-synuclein fibrils replicate in mice causing MSA-like pathology - Nature
Synthetic fibril strain 1B is a pathogen that is capable of self-replication and inducing glial cytoplasmic inclusions in vivo in mice, and the structural features of 1B may underlie the pathology of individuals with multiple-system atrophy.
