Metabolic rescue of α-synuclein-induced neurodegeneration through propionate supplementation and intestine-neuron signaling in C. elegans

Summary: Microbial metabolites that can modulate neurodegeneration are promising therapeutic targets. Here, we found that the short-chain fatty acid propionate protects against α-synuclein-induced neuronal death and locomotion defects in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) thr...
