TL;DR

This review synthesizes evidence from genetic, biochemical, and neuropathological studies to highlight shared molecular nodes, such as ESCRT-III components, the VPS4 ATPase, the adaptor protein ALIX, and late endosomal regulators, including Rab7 that couple membrane remodeling to autophagic flux.

Mitophagy in neuronal health and disease: from mechanisms to neurodegeneration

Regulation of mitochondrial health is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis in the nervous system. Damaged mitochondria can have detrimental effects on neuronal health and are thought to be key contributors to the progression of neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral s...

The Autophagy-Senescence-Inflammasome Axis: A Novel Triad in Neurodegenerative Diseases?

A synthesis of emerging evidence supporting an integrated 'Autophagy-Senescence-Inflammasome (ASI) axis' is synthesised, in which reciprocal interactions among impaired autophagy, senescent glia, and inflammasome signalling establish a self-sustaining cycle of neuroinflammation.

G3BP1 depletion, observed in Parkinson's Disease, drives Golgi-lysosome-autophagy defects.

It is demonstrated that G3BP1 also stabilises the COPI vesicle protein beta-COP by promoting its interaction with the deubiquitinase USP10, which accelerates its proteasomal degradation.
