1. Restoring Parkin function: an AAV gene therapy approach for early-onset Parkinson's disease
Basu S, Demarest Tg, Gattone Nj, Gilsrud Aj, Wicks B, Khatiwada A, Et Al.
Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in PRKN gene (encoding Parkin protein) cause early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). Parkin is a crucial component of the PINK1-Parkin pathway, which marks damaged mitochondria for degradation via mitophagy. Without functional Parkin, damaged mitochondria accumulate, causing…
