Neuronal endosomes to lysosomes: A journey to the soma

J Cell Biol. 2018 Sep 3;217(9):2977-2979. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201806139. Epub 2018 Aug 16.

Abstract

How are lysosomal degradation pathways spatially organized in the complex landscape of a neuron? Cheng et al. (2018. J Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201711083) and Yap et al. (2018. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201711039) characterize the distribution and function of endolysosomal organelles in neurons, providing insights into compartment-specific mechanisms regulating the neuronal proteome.
