abstract = {The major pathological feature of Parkinson 's disease
(PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease and
most common movement disorder, is the predominant
degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia
nigra, a part of the midbrain. Despite decades of research,
the molecular mechanisms of the origin of the disease remain
unknown. While the disease was initially viewed as a purely
neuronal disorder, results from single-cell transcriptomics
have suggested that oligodendrocytes may play an important
role in the early stages of Parkinson's. Although these
findings are of high relevance, particularly to the search
for effective disease-modifying therapies, the actual
functional role of oligodendrocytes in Parkinson's disease
remains highly speculative and requires a concerted
scientific effort to be better understood. This Unsolved
Mystery discusses the limited understanding of
oligodendrocytes in PD, highlighting unresolved questions
regarding functional changes in oligodendroglia, the role of
myelin in nigral dopaminergic neurons, the impact of the
toxic environment, and the aggregation of alpha-synuclein
within oligodendrocytes.},
