Dysregulation of a novel autophagosome-mitochondria contact contributes to autophagy dysfunction and neurodegeneration in tauopathy

Nuo Jia, Hongyuan Guan, Yantao Zuo, Yu Young Jeong, Niharika Amireddy, Gavesh Rajapaksha, Cuauhtemoc Ulises Gonzalez, Nora Jaber, Yun-Kyung Lee, Marialaina Nissenbaum, David J. Margolis, Wei Dai, Alexander W. Kusnecov, Qian Cai
