- 2016 December 3, Clare Wilson, Parkinson’s: we’re looking in the wrong place, New Scientist, Issue 3102, page 8,
  One of the hallmarks of the condition is deposits of insoluble fibres of a substance called synuclein. Normally found as small soluble molecules in healthy nerve cells, in people with Parkinson’s, something causes the synuclein molecules to warp into a different shape, making them clump together as fibres.
