Neuron-glial Interplay in a-synucleinopathies: Mechanisms of Progression and Therapeutic Targets

Sunday, September 29, 2024
15:00 - 17:00

In this session, the faculty will discuss the current evidence of neuron-glia interactions in a-synucleinopathies and the treatments targeting glia in mitigating neurodegeneration.
