Abstract excerpt
Neuronopathic Gaucher disease (nGD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by GBA1 mutations, leading to defective acid β-glucosidase (GCase) and accumulation of glycosphingolipid substrates, causing inflammation and neurodegeneration. Patients with nGD manifest severe neurological symptoms, but current animal models fail to fully recapitulate the human condition, posing a major barrier to the development of...
