During selective autophagy transmembrane cargo receptors can trigger autophagy by recruiting different complexes and utilizing multiple pathways. This flexibility in autophagy initiation has important therapeutic implications.
Tau protein's role in Alzheimer's disease was studied by introducing a human tau mutation into Drosophila using CRISPR. Single-cell RNA sequencing helped identify genes and pathways involved in tauopathy.
An R package for investigating Cell Type specific regulatory genetics using single cell or nuclei allele specific expression data. It loads ASE pipeline output, performs ASE analysis, and works with various ASE pipelines.
