Title: "Tackling the rising challenge of α-synucleinopathies: is there light at the end of the tunnel?”
α-synucleinopathies are a group of relentlessly progressive, debilitating, and incurable neurodegenera-tive disorders, comprising Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Most common among them is PD, with ~10 million affected people worldwide, expected to double by 2040. Hence, PD is now regarded as one of the fastest growing cause of neuro-logical related disability worldwide. I will give an overview of the challenges hindering therapeutic breakthroughs for α-synucleinopathies, and strategies by us and others to circumvent these obstacles.
