PODXL regulates the neuronal entry of α-synuclein aggregates
Cell-to-cell transmission of -synuclein (-Syn) aggregates is a key event in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, yet the neuronal surface factors that govern uptake of pathogenic -Syn fibrils remain undefined. We developed a flow cytometry-based CRISPR activation screen for modifiers of -Syn preformed fibril (PFF) uptake by human iPSC-derived cortical neurons. By interrogating 68 genes encoding…
