      Astrocytic Atrophy as a Pathological Feature of Parkinson's Disease with LRRK2 Mutation 

      Ramos González, Paula; Mato Santos, Susana ORCID; Chara Ventura, Juan Carlos; Verkhratsky, Alexei; Matute Almau, Carlos José; Cavaliere, Fabio (Springer, 2021-03-30)
      The principal hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the selective neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurones. Mounting evidence suggests that astrocytes may contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration through decreased ...
