Interesting: @LBurbulla & colleagues report that defective sequestration of cytosolic dopamine into synaptic vesicles in DJ-1–deficient dopaminergic neurons, leading to oxidation & α-synuclein pathology; ATP supplementation restored vesicular function science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Some valuable advise from the 2008 Nobel Laureate Françoise Barré-Sinoussi.
Why do you want to be a scientist? In January 1983, in just two weeks, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and her team discovered HIV – the virus that causes AIDS. Since then she has spent her career working on behalf of those living with HIV. #WomeninScience

Now we have Dr. Dimitri Krainc discussing translational approaches focusing on GBA and lysosomes. Interestingly, rare lysosomal storage disorders are linked to neurodegeneration (e.g., Gaucher's) ➡️ Mutations in GBA1 are linked to increased risk of PD. @ParkinsonDotOrg (1/4)
