Progressive endolysosomal deficits impair autophagic clearance beginning at early asymptomatic stages in fALS mice

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is an important homeostatic process that functions by eliminating defective organelles and aggregated proteins over a neuron's lifetime. One pathological hallmark in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-linked motor neurons (MNs) is axonal accumulation of autophagic vacuoles (AVs), thus raising a fundamental question as to whether reduced autophagic clearance due to an impaired lysosomal system...
