One of the quiet privileges of academia: you spend your days surrounded by some of the brightest people on the planet — all trying to understand something deeply. Not to sell it, not to exploit it, just to understand. That changes you.

Congratulations to @poonam_thakur6 and her team for their recent publication in @ACSChemNeurosci. The study describes the impact of glycation modification on the pathology of the alpha-synuclein protein, providing insights into the link between diabetes and Parkinson's disease.
Excited to share our new paper in @ACSChemNeurosci. We show that glycation modification observed during diabetes alters how α-synuclein drives pathology, leading to earlier symptom onset. This may help explain the higher PD risk in people with diabetes pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
