It has taken a while, but the Journal of Innate Immunity has now published an editorial [1] that discusses the Stolzenberg et al. paper [2].
As Labrie and Brundin say in the final paragraph: "... it will be important to understand what mechanisms are responsible for modulating pathogen-induced alpha-synuclein increases in the gut" i.e. how the alpha-syn is normally cleared (and what stops that from happening in PD).
