DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11111515
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral midbrain. The complement-phagosome pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of PD. Here we measured levels of complement-phagocytosis molecules, including galectin-3, C3,… read more here.
