It also contains novel findings of how Polo-like kinase family inhibition can lead to neuroprotection of cortical neurons bearing alpha-synuclein lewy pathology in a Parkinson's Disease mouse model using an in vivo imaging technique. 000043713 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000043713 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000043713 650__ $$aalpha-Synuclein$$037032 000043713 650__ $$aParkinson Disease$$023617 000043713 650__ $$aLewy Body Disease$$032845 000043713 650__ $$aDNA Repair$$017990 000043713 6531_ $$aDNA double strand break repair 000043713 6531_ $$aLewy pathology 000043713 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000043713 692__ $$aDepartment of Neurology$$041431 000043713 7001_ $$aRose, Elizabeth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0003-3999-0526 000043713 8564_ $$9053cb084-ed7a-438f-a777-6261a6fe5559$$s15831712$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43713/files/Rose.Elizabeth.2024.pdf 000043713 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:43713$$pstudent-work 000043713 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000043713 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-09-23
