A new method to characterise neuronal metabolism

© 2023 EPFL
An interdisciplinary collaboration between the Bertarelli Foundation Gene Therapy Platform, the group of Professor Anders Meibom and the Biological Electron Microscopy Facility has explored how alpha-synuclein disrupts metabolic processes within neurons - a key event in the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
