Lewy body (LB) pathology and loss of dopaminergic neurons are imprints of Parkinson’s disease (PD). LBs are mainly comprised of alpha-Synuclein (Dijkstra et al., 2014). Strolling detection of LBs in brain regions contribute to progressive construct of PD pathology to which molecular mechanisms are not clear (H. Braak & Del Tredici, 2017). Two key facets of LB formation are protein aggregation via misfolding and transmission of misfoldled proteins to various brain regions, eventually causing ...
