Autophagic stress activates distinct compensatory secretory pathways in neurons
Sierra D. Palumbos, Jacob Popolow, Juliet Goldsmith, Erika L.F. Holzbaur
The paper shows that neurons with Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 mutations increase secretion of autophagosomes and exosomes to manage cellular waste and communication, potentially delaying disease onset but contributing to neuroinflammation.
