Summary: Researchers employing computational models have made a significant leap in understanding the aggregation of alpha-synuclein protein, crucial in Parkinson’s disease development. This study marks the first to map the molecular dynamics of these proteins in detail, revealing how environmental factors like molecule crowding and ionic changes enhance aggregation.

this article seems to be pretty obsessed with crowder molecules and salt so why do they never really explain where these crowder molecules originate and why they are there and are they working on research to stifle this activity

Also it's a computational model meaning a computer programmed by a human and fed selective data by a human has modelled what might be happening. All open to human error and bias.

I thought the a syn hypothesis was declared flawed, no?
