Redox Dyshomeostasis Links Renal and Neuronal Dysfunction in Drosophila Models of Gaucher and Parkinson's Disease
Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by bi-allelic mutations in the GBA1 gene. Variants in GBA1 also represent the most frequent genetic risk factor for Parkinso...
