          A ‘Double Life’ for a Key Parkinson’s Disease Protein

          The Parkinson's-associated protein alpha-synuclein appears to act as a "toggle switch" that helps control vesicle transportation and gene expression. In a diseased state, this delicate balance is broken. The findings have implications for the development of new treatments for Parkinson's disease.
