Article Synopsis
  • A novel α-synuclein seed amplification assay (synSAA) was developed to differentiate misfolded α-synuclein seeds linked to multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD).
  • The study analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain samples from various clinical cohorts across multiple medical centers to assess the assay's diagnostic accuracy.
  • Findings showed that brain samples with Lewy bodies were positive for synSAA, indicating potential for the assay in distinguishing between MSA and PD in diagnostic settings.

Background: Therapeutic education programs are effective in several chronic conditions. However, evidence is lacking in multiple system atrophy (MSA). We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of a comprehensive therapeutic education program in people with MSA (PwMSA) and their caregivers.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with aggregation of misfolded α-synuclein and other proteins, including tau. We designed a cross-sectional study to quantify the brain binding of [C]PBB3 (a ligand known to bind to misfolded tau and possibly α-synuclein) as a proxy of misfolded protein aggregation in Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects with and without cognitive impairment and healthy controls (HC). In this cross-sectional study, nineteen cognitively normal PD subjects (CN-PD), thirteen cognitively impaired PD subjects (CI-PD) and ten HC underwent [C]PBB3 PET.
