Neurodegenerative lysosomal disorders: A continuum from development to late age

Abstract excerpt

Neuronal survival requires continuous lysosomal turnover of cellular constituents delivered by autophagy and endocytosis. Primary lysosomal dysfunction in inherited congenital "lysosomal storage" disorders is well known to cause severe neurodegenerative phenotypes associated with accumulations of lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles (AVs). Recently, the number of inherited adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases...
