Deficiency of the frontotemporal dementia gene GRN results in gangliosidosis.

Homozygous mutations of granulin precursor (GRN) lead to neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis1, a severe neurodevelopmental disease, in humans and neuroinflammation in mice2. Haploinsufficiency of GRN almost invariably causes frontotemporal dementia…

A lipid transfer-dependent feedback loop activates ATG9A compartments in autophagy initiation

Phagophore formation requires ATG9, ATG2 and PI3KC3-C1. Authors show that ATG2 is crucial for PI3P appearance on ATG9A compartments with little PI, suggesting a lipid transfer-driven feedback loop supporting lipid transfer and ATG8 lipidation.

Autophagic stress activates distinct compensatory secretory pathways in neurons

Neurodegenerative diseases are linked to autophagy dysfunction causing harmful build-up of cellular waste. Neurons with Parkinson's mutation increase release of autophagic vesicles and exosomes, suggesting a protective response to chronic stress.
