Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Autophagy in Preventing Neuro-Degeneration
A comprehensive examination into how autophagosome formation isolates misfolded proteins and delivers them to lysosomes for enzymatic recycling in long-lived post-mitotic neurons.
Inhibiting mTORC1 via nutrient fasting induces autophagic flux, preventing toxic intracellular protein aggregates in cortical neurons.
