ICYMI: New online! Parkinson disease is a fatty acidopathy

Parkinson disease is a fatty acidopathy

Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 01 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01142-2This Perspective centres on alterations in the fatty acid-ome as the critical feature of lipid aberration in α-synucleinopathies, specifically Parkinson disease. Here, the authors explain the biological and genetic basis for their hypothesis, with an emphasis on the transient binding of α-synuclein to fatty acids of various lipids.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to write this Perspective with Dennis Selkoe refining the Parkinson’s Disease protein+lipidopathy to protein+fatty acid-opathy.
