Recent findings have shown that the connectivity and crosstalk between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at mitochondria–ER contact sites (MERCS) are altered in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and in AD-related models.

Autophagy-related protein PlATG2 regulates the vegetative growth, sporangial cleavage, autophagosome formation, and pathogenicity of peronophythora litchii [PDF]
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is important for the development and pathogenicity of phytopathogenic fungi and for the defence response of plants.

Local membrane source gathering by p62 body drives autophagosome formation. [PDF]
Autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles generated intracellularly to encapsulate substrates for lysosomal degradation during autophagy. Phase separated p62 body plays pivotal roles during autophagosome formation, however, the underlying mechanisms ...

STING directly recruits WIPI2 for autophagosome formation during STING-induced autophagy. [PDF]
The cGAS‐STING pathway plays an important role in host defense by sensing pathogen DNA, inducing type I IFNs, and initiating autophagy. However, the molecular mechanism of autophagosome formation in cGAS‐STING pathway‐induced autophagy is still unclear ...

Intracellular accumulation of tau inhibits autophagosome formation by activating TIA1-amino acid-mTORC1 signaling. [PDF]
Background Autophagy dysfunction plays a crucial role in tau accumulation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate whether and how the accumulating tau may in turn affect autophagy.
