Prions, beta-amyloid and synuclein, by contrast, are full of sticky structures called beta-sheets that react willy-nilly with crucial proteins.

When researchers then looked inside Lewy bodies, the mysterious globs in the brains of Parkinson's patients, they found abundant synuclein.

Lansbury's team helped build the case, showing in 1998 that the mutant synuclein proteins formed clusters more readily than normal synuclein.
