This study shows that Atg18a regulates exosome release and rescues pathogenic dysfunction caused by a Parkinson's disease mutation in Synaptojanin.

This study generates a dWDR45 knock-out Drosophila model to investigate autophagy's role in BPAN, finding that autophagy defects contribute to some but not all phenotypes.

This study identifies Synaptogyrin as a negative regulator of activity-dependent synaptic autophagy, showing its role in degrading synaptic vesicle components and pathological Tau.

The paper shows how EndophilinA couples calcium influx to synaptic autophagy and identifies a Parkinson-risk mutation that disrupts this process.
