The term autophagy encompasses different pathways that route cytoplasmic material to
lysosomes for degradation and includes macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy …

Autophagy is a lysosome-based degradative process used to recycle obsolete cellular
constituents and eliminate damaged organelles and aggregate-prone proteins. Their …

Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. In
Europe, prevalence and incidence rates for PD are estimated at approximately 108–257/100 …

Calcium (Ca2+) functions as a second messenger that is critical in regulating fundamental
physiological functions such as cell growth/development, cell survival, neuronal …

Impaired protein homeostasis and accumulation of damaged or abnormally modified protein
are common disease mechanisms in many neurodegenerative disorders, including …

Autophagy is a conserved pathway that delivers cytoplasmic contents to the lysosome for
degradation. Here we consider its roles in neuronal health and disease. We review …

Mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly implicated in the etiology of idiopathic and genetic
Parkinson's disease (PD). However, strategies aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial …

New discoveries providing insights into mitochondrial bioenergetics, their dynamic
interactions as well as their role in cellular homeostasis have dramatically advanced our …

Abstract ATP13A2 (PARK9) is a late endolysosomal transporter that is genetically implicated
in a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders, including Kufor-Rakeb syndrome—a …
