Featured article: Novel compound PBT434 prevents iron mediated neurodegeneration and alpha-synuclein toxicity in multiple models of Parkinson’s disease

Dr. Finkelstein et al report the preclinical characterization of PBT434, a novel quinazolinone compound bearing a moderate affinity metal-binding motif, which is in development for Parkinsonian conditions.

Dr. Ngolab et al investigate the role of exosomes in propogating DLB pathology, possibly through the seeding of toxic forms of α-synuclein.

Werner Paulus, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC

"Acta Neuropathologica Communications is a journal for researchers working on human neurological disease and has a focus on neuropathology. However, since we believe that an interdisciplinary approach is highly valuable to advance the field, our journal is not restricted to classical neuropathological articles. Therefore, we also welcome high-quality submissions from other disciplines as long as they do ultimately aim to advance our understanding of human neurological disease. We try our best to help you with the submission process and in case of any questions do not hesitate to contact the Editors-in-Chief directly."
