Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GBA1 mutation is the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Replacement of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) slows neurodegeneration in PD models and may be a promising disease-modifying therapy in patients with PD. However, recombinant GCase has limited penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Microbubble-mediated magnetic resonance-guided focused...
