PARKINSON'S DISEASE-ASSOCIATED PINK1 LOSS DISRUPTS ENSHEATHING GLIA AND CAUSES DOPAMINERGIC NEURON SYNAPSE LOSS

Lorenzo Ghezzi, Sabine Kuenen, Ulrike Pech…·Patrik Verstreken

This study shows that Pink1 loss in Drosophila disrupts ensheathing glia, leading to dopaminergic synapse loss, and identifies vesicle trafficking factors as potential therapeutic targets.
