A hallmark of Parkinson’s disease is the presence of accumulations of proteins called Lewy Bodies in the affected neurons. We have shown in cultured cells that aggregates of the main constituent of Lewy Bodies, the protein (alpha) a-synuclein, prevent cells from generating or maintaining cilia (Iqbal et al., 2020; doi.
