O. Harding, C. S. Evans, J. Ye, J. Cheung, T. Maniatis, E. L. F. Holzbaur
This study examines how ALS and FTD-linked TBK1 mutations affect mitophagy, revealing that both TBK1 recruitment and kinase activity are necessary for mitochondrial clearance, with some mutations causing mitochondrial stress and others having limited impact.
