This study explores how varying levels of Cathepsin D influence the processing, aggregation, and toxicity of alpha-synuclein in vivo. Conducted by leading researchers from South Korea, Canada, and the UK, the research highlights the critical role of Cathepsin D in neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. Presented in Molecular Brain in 2009, this work underscores its significance in understanding protein misfolding and aggregation in neurodegenerative conditions, offering potential insights for therapeutic interventions.
