α-Synuclein Activates the PI3K/AKT Pathway to Drive Lipid Droplets Accumulation: Implications for Parkinson's Disease

Suaad Abd Elhadi, Jenna Congdon-Loeffler, Eva Harrosch…·Ronit Sharon

This study shows that α-synuclein activates the PI3K/AKT pathway, leading to lipid droplet accumulation in Parkinson's disease, and suggests PI3K inhibition as a therapeutic strategy.

α-Synuclein facilitates endocytosis by elevating the steady-state levels of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate

Meir Schechter, Merav Atias, Suaad Abd Elhadi…·Ronit Sharon

This study shows α-synuclein increases phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate levels to facilitate clathrin-mediated endocytosis and synaptic vesicle recycling.
