Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal protein degradation pathway whose precise roles in age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases remain largely unknown. Here we show that the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine delays neuronal cell loss caused by dysfunctional endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT-III), either through loss of its essential component mSnf7-2 or ectopic expression of the disease...
