In conclusion, there is strong evidence that the autophagy process is altered in LRRK2 PD models, but, at the moment, we do not know in which...

... as well as impaired dopamine D 2 receptor-mediated functions. Whereas LRRK2 −/− brains are normal, LRRK2 −/− kidneys at 20 months of age develop striking accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein and ubiquitinated proteins, impairment of the autophagy–lysosomal pathway, and increases in apoptotic cell...

... on the UPS (ubiquitin–proteasome system) and the ALS (autophagy–lysosome system). In the present paper, we focus on the regulation of the degradation of tau by the UPS and ALS and its relation to tau aggregation. We anticipate that stimulation of these two protein-degradation systems might be a potential...
