Emerging evidence indicates that liquid-liquid phase separation of α-synuclein occurs during the nucleation step of its aggregation, a pivotal step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Elucidating the molecular determinants governing this process is essential for understanding the pathological mechanisms of diseases and developing therapeutic strategies that target early-stage aggregation. While previous studies have identified residues critical for α-synuclein amyloid formation, the key residues and molecular drivers of its phase separation remain largely unexplored.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.
Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease in the world and appears to be an emerging epidemic in Africa, where counteractive measures have become necessary. Previous reports have highlighted the limited epidemiological and clinical PD research in Africa but overlooked the poor preclinical PD research output of the continent. Because preclinical research is a bedrock for translating basic scientific research into clinical practice, a weak preclinical research foundation can hamper advancement in epidemiological and clinical investigations.

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) i.e., dementia of the Alzheimer's type, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are a rising worldwide epidemic driven by aging populations and characterized by progressive neuronal impairment.
