What are the exact molecular mechanisms underlying the bidirectional pathogenic loop between GCase dysfunction and α-synuclein pathology?

OPEN

The abstract describes a vicious cycle where GCase loss-of-function impairs α-synuclein degradation, while α-synuclein pathology inhibits GCase function, but states these mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Understanding this bidirectional relationship is critical for developing targeted therapeutics that could break this pathogenic cycle.
