Which specific CSF molecular components are essential for maintaining disease-relevant α-synuclein fibril structure?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

While the study shows that removing key CSF components alters fibril structure, the identity and relative contributions of critical components remain undefined. This knowledge is essential for understanding physiological aggregation processes and developing therapeutic interventions.
