Dissent: the source evidence does not yet prove causality, and global m6A manipulation can create broad toxicity and indirect proteostasis effects. The next step is dopaminergic-neuron perturbation of m6A writers/erasers/readers with RNA stability, translation, and Lewy-body-like aggregation assays."
