💊 Loss of DDHD2-fatty acid pathway causes hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP54), a childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Excitingly, we found that a combination of activated fatty acids restored neuronal energy and function in HSP54-model neurons, identifying a potential therapy for HSP54. 2/3
