Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Variants in GBA1, the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, cause Gaucher disease and confer an increased risk for parkinsonism. Strategies using small molecules can improve the function of glucocerebrosidase in lysosomes. A clear understanding of the mechanism‐of‐action of these compounds will facilitate development of GBA1‐modulating

Abstract Background Membrane contact sites are crucial for the exchange of ions or lipids and thus are critical for the function and maintenance of organelles. VPS13A is a membrane‐residing, bridge‐like protein connecting two membranes to enable bulk lipid transfer. Loss‐of‐function mutations in the VPS13A gene cause VPS13A disease.

Plasma Glucosylsphingosine in GBA1 E365K, N409S, and L483P Heterozygous Mutation Carriers
Abstract Background GBA1 encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, with key substrates that include glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine. The E365K variant is the most common variant in GBA1 that is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) but is not associated with Gaucher disease.

ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

Migrasomes, Matrix‐Bound Nanovesicles, and More: Messengers in the Matrix
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and particles (EPs) are diverse micro‐ and nanoparticles that circulate in bodily fluids and can attach to, or be deposited onto, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and other surfaces. To date, the nomenclature and classification of matrix‐bound or matrix‐associated EVs and EPs (MEVPs) have been unclear, largely due to
