Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, affecting more than 55 million individuals worldwide in 2021. In addition to the “amyloid hypothesis,” an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that phosphorylated tau ...

There are various types of autophagy, which can be categorized as nonselective or selective. Macroautophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process through which cells degrade and recycle cytoplasm. Nonselective macroautophagy randomly engulfs a portion of the cytoplasm into autophagosomes and then delivers them to the vacuole (in fungi or plants) or ...

Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are rare metabolic monogenic disorders characterized by an excessive accumulation of glycogen in the cell. However, monogenic disorders are not simple regarding genotype–phenotype correlation.

Selective Autophagy: Talking with the UPS [PDF]
Far from now are the days when investigators raced to identify the proteolytic system responsible for the degradation of their favorite protein. Nowadays, it is well accepted that a given protein can be degraded by different systems depending on factors such as cell type, cellular conditions, or functionality of each proteolytic pathway.

Implications of Selective Autophagy Dysfunction for ALS Pathology
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disorder that progressively affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Due to the biological complexity of the disease, its etiology remains unknown.

Emerging role of selective autophagy in human diseases.
Autophagy was originally described as a highly conserved system for the degradation of cytosol through a lysosome-dependent pathway. In response to starvation, autophagy degrades organelles and proteins to provide metabolites and energy for its pro ...

Targeting selective autophagy and beyond: From underlying mechanisms to potential therapies
Background: Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved turnover process for intracellular substances in eukaryotes, relying on lysosomal (in animals) or vacuolar (in yeast and plants) mechanisms.

Ubiquitin, Autophagy and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Ubiquitin signals play various roles in proteolytic and non-proteolytic functions. Ubiquitin signals are recognized as targets of the ubiquitin–proteasome system and the autophagy–lysosome pathway.

Molecular mechanisms of selective autophagy [PDF]
Autophagy is the catabolic process by which the cell degrades cytoplasmic components within lysosomes.1 The balance between the biosynthesis of cellular components and their eventual degradation is of cardinal importance for normal cellular homeostasis and health.2 Autophagy has long been thought to be an essential but non-selective bulk degradation ...
