Extremely proud of Rebecca Wallings & Team in #TanseyLab3.0 for these high-impact findings in @sciencetranslationalmedicine www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Researchers examine post-mortem brain tissue & spinal cords from 20 individuals diagnosed with REM sleep behaviour disorder by polysomnography, & find strong neuropathological evidence that it's an early stage of ฮฑ-synuclein-related neurodegen. disease

IPS cell-derived midbrain organoids from patients with GBA1-related #Parkinsons develop ฮฑ-synuclein deposits; Retention of mutant GCase in the ER & the increase of GlcCer are key drivers of this pathology; Ambroxol & GZ667161 reduce the ฮฑ-syn deposits

In a new study, researchers report that expression of granulins (using AAV) corrects lysosome defects, inflammation, & lipofuscin in GRN-/- mice; These "findings have important implications for therapeutic development to treat FTD-GRN, #Alzheimers, & #Parkinsons"

A new review explores the emerging role of disease-associated microglia in #Parkinsons; "Investigating the spatiotemporal properties of DAM in PD could provide a strong baseline for comparison" across neurodegenerative diseases
