Can retromer-stabilizing compounds like R55 prevent neurodegeneration in vivo?

INVESTIGATING

While R55 partially rescues retromer association in vitro, its therapeutic potential in animal models or clinical settings remains unknown. This translational gap is critical for determining whether retromer stabilization represents a viable treatment strategy for Parkinson's disease. Gap type: open_question Source paper: Parkinson Disease-linked Vps35 R524W Mutation Impairs the Endosomal Association of Retromer and Induces α-Synuclein Aggregation. (2016, The Journal of biological chemistry, PMID:27385586)
