Associations of Monocyte Glucocerebrosidase with Cognition and Cholinergic Innervation in GBA1 Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The GBA1 gene encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying a GBA1 variant (GBA‐PD) exhibit faster cognitive decline, linked to cholinergic degeneration. Objectives The aim was to investigate whether GCase activity, measured in monocytes, correlates with cognitive dysfunction or ...

Biomarkers of Leucine‐Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) and Lysosomal Dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Common and rare genetic variants in leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been linked with sporadic and familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, we discovered that common genetic variation near the LRRK2 locus determined survival in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

Ex Vivo LRRK2 Activation in Asian G2385R and R1628P Variant Carriers and Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) kinase inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease (PD), but the functional impact of Asian‐prevalent LRRK2 p.G2385R and p.R1628P variants remains unclear. Robust patient stratification and target engagement markers are needed for global LRRK2‐targeted trials ...

Seeing Invisible Oligomers: Rethinking α‐Synuclein Pathology Through Proximity Ligation Assay

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy are defined by α‐synuclein (αSYN)‐positive inclusions – Lewy bodies (LBs) and glial cytoplasmic inclusions – yet mounting evidence indicates that these inclusions represent only a fraction of disease‐relevant pathology.

Rare‐Variant Burden across Lysosomal Genes Implicates Sialylation and Ganglioside Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lysosomal dysfunction is central to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, with GBA1 representing the strongest established genetic risk factor. Numerous other genes involved in lysosomal sphingolipid, glycosphingolipid, and ceramide metabolism have been proposed as contributors to PD, highlighting the need for genetic analyses ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 enhances lysosomal exocytosis and deacidifies lysosomes to facilitate viral release

open access: yesmLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The mechanism of SARS‐CoV‐2 egress predominantly governs the quantity and quality of progeny viruses, thereby significantly contributing to viral pathogenicity. However, the key factors influencing viral egress remain largely unclear. In this study, using transcription‐ and replication‐competent SARS‐CoV‐2 virus‐like‐particle (SARS‐CoV‐2 trVLP)

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).
