Their work unravels in atomistic detail the mechanism of #regulation of the #autophagy specific PI3KC3-C1 complex #activation during autophagy initiation for production of PI3P.

We are grateful to @asapresearch.bsky.social for generously supporting our research!

Excited to share this new preprint from Sierra Palumbos, tracking the effects of dysfunctional autophagy in neurons: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Autophagic stress activates distinct compensatory secretory pathways in neurons

Autophagic dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease, leaving neurons vulnerable to the accumulation of damaged organelles and proteins. However, the late onset of diseases suggests that ...
