Mechanisms Controlling Selective Elimination of Damaged Lysosomes
By onLysophagy, triggered by membrane rupture, involves galectins binding to lysosomal contents to promote autophagic recycling. Damaged lysosomes are ubiquitylated, leading to autophagosome formation for degradation in healthy lysosomes.

Vesicular dysfunction and pathways to neurodegeneration
By onIn this review, the pathways that have emerged as critical for neuronal survival in the human brain are discussed, illustrating the diversity of proteins and cellular events with three molecular case studies from different neurological diseases.
In Vivo Electrophysiology (Mouse)
By onThis protocol describes the in vivo electrophysiology method for recording neuronal activity in mice.
Single cell survival assay
By onThis protocol describes the experimental procedure used to measure single cell survival rates post nucleofection of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). General Notes: 1. Throughout these protocols, the term hPSC is used to collectively refer to both hiPSCs and hESCs. All described procedures have been tested and work equally well for hiPSCs and hESCs.

Single cell analysis of iPSC-derived midbrain organoids
By onThe following script was used for analysis of gene corrected (GC) versus GBA1 mutant (MUT) midbrain organoids. The purpose was to combine, filter, integrate, and identify clusters and differentially expressed genes sets. This is part of a Collection of protocols (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.8epv593dng1b/v1) for the paper "Glucocerebrosidase, a Parkinson´s disease-associated protein, is imported into mitochondria and regulates complex I assembly and function" (https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1521848/v1)
