Peroxisome biology and its possible role in neurodegeneration — a skeptical review that previews evidence, gaps, and research directions for readers.
Key Takeaways
- Peroxisomal functions in lipid metabolism and ROS homeostasis are biologically relevant to neural membrane integrity and redox balance.
- Current human and animal data show peroxisome-related alterations in Alzheimer's disease but do not prove causality or universal necessity.
- Therapeutic strategies targeting peroxisome pathways require longitudinal evidence, validated biomarkers, and trials in biologically defined populations.
