Loyola researchers initially focused on alpha - synuclein proteins associated with Parkinson's disease.

Using cell cultures, the research team also found two ways to prevent the toxicity caused by alpha - synuclein: gene therapy that forced the neurons to make more TOM20 protein protected them from the alpha - synuclein; and a protein that was able to prevent alpha - synuclein from sticking to TOM20 prevented alpha - synuclein's harmful effects on mitochondria.
