Macroautophagy in CNS health and disease

CJ Griffey, A Yamamoto - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2022 - nature.com
Macroautophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that delivers diverse cellular
contents to lysosomes for degradation. As our understanding of this pathway grows, so does …

Brain-derived autophagosome profiling reveals the engulfment of nucleoid-enriched mitochondrial fragments by basal autophagy in neurons

J Goldsmith, A Ordureau, JW Harper, ELF Holzbaur - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Neurons depend on autophagy to maintain cellular homeostasis, and defects in autophagy
are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative disease. To probe the role of basal …

Asperosaponin VI ameliorates the CMS-induced depressive-like behaviors by inducing a neuroprotective microglial phenotype in hippocampus via PPAR-γ pathway

X Jiang, S Yi, Q Liu, D Su, L Li, C Xiao… - Journal of …, 2022 - Springer

Dendritic autophagy degrades postsynaptic proteins and is required for long-term synaptic depression in mice

E Kallergi, AD Daskalaki, A Kolaxi, C Camus… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The pruning of dendritic spines during development requires autophagy. This process is
facilitated by long-term depression (LTD)-like mechanisms, which has led to speculation that …

Quantifying postsynaptic receptor dynamics: insights into synaptic function

SA Maynard, J Ranft, A Triller - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
The molecular composition of presynaptic and postsynaptic neuronal terminals is dynamic,

ATP-mediated signalling in the central synapses

U Lalo, Y Pankratov - Neuropharmacology, 2023 - Elsevier
ATP released from the synaptic terminals and astrocytes can activate neuronal P2 receptors
at a variety of locations across the CNS. Although the postsynaptic ATP-mediated signalling …

Deep proteomics identifies shared molecular pathway alterations in synapses of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and mouse model
