brain disorders

The team’s overall goal was to be able to compare the amounts of α-synuclein protein contained in extracellular vesicles (right side) relative to α-synuclein contained in total plasma (left side). To achieve the former, they innovated an already validated EV-isolation and analysis process with a critical “protein protection assay.”
