Abstract
En 中文
Autophagies describe a set of processes in which cells degrade their cytoplasmic contents via various routes that terminate with the lysosome. In macroautophagy (the focus of this review, henceforth autophagy), cytoplasmic contents, including misfolded proteins, protein complexes, dysfunctional organelles, and various pathogens, are captured within double membranes called autophagosomes, which ultimately fuse with lysosomes, after which their contents are degraded. Autophagy is important in maintaining neuronal and glial function; consequently, disrupted autophagy is associated with various neurologic diseases. This review provides a broad perspective on the roles of autophagy in the CNS, highlighting recent literature that furthers our understanding of the multifaceted role of autophagy in maintaining a healthy nervous system.
