Authors Klein AD, Outeiro TF Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2023 Oct 11;14(1):6383. Abstract β-Glucocerebrosidase (GCase) mutations lead to glucosylceramide build-up in the lysosome, impacting α-synuclein aggregation and autophagy. Recently, Baden and colleagues found GCase in mitochondria, supporting mitochondrial complex I function and energy metabolism. We believe the newly
