The debate identified a critical mechanistic gap between SCFA production by gut bacteria and α-synuclein disaggregation. While SCFAs cross the blood-brain barrier, their actual concentrations in brain tissue and direct effects on protein aggregation remain unvalidated, preventing therapeutic development.
