α-Synuclein levels are critical to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Wild-type α-synuclein is degraded partly by chaperone-mediated autophagy, and aberrant α-synuclein may act as an inhibitor of the pathway. To address whether the induction of chaperone-mediated autophagy may represent a potential therapy
