Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Chase Amos, Peng Xu and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: Mutations of the bridge-like lipid transport protein VPS13A and of the lipid scramblase XK result in Chorea Acanthocytosis (ChAc) and McLeod syndrome (MLS) respectively, two similar conditions involving neurodegeneration and deformed erythrocytes (acanthocytes). VPS13A binds XK, suggesting a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Ryosuke Tanaka, Baohua Zhou, Margarida Agrochao, Bara A. Badwan, Braedyn Au, Natalia C. B. Matos and Damon A.

For instance, animals measure optic flow to estimate and control […]

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Narayana Yadavalli and Shawn M. Ferguson | Summary: Cells maintain optimal levels of lysosome degradative activity to protect against pathogens, clear waste and generate nutrients. Here we show that LRRK2, a protein that is tightly linked to Parkinson’s disease, negatively regulates lysosome degradative activity in macrophages and microglia via […]
