MCOLN1 is a ROS sensor in lysosomes that regulates autophagy

TL;DR: It is shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate TFEB via a lysosomal Ca2+-dependent mechanism independent of mTOR, which triggers calcineurin-dependent T FEB-nuclear translocation, autophagy induction and lysOSome biogenesis.

Activation of β-Glucocerebrosidase Reduces Pathological α-Synuclein and Restores Lysosomal Function in Parkinson's Patient Midbrain Neurons

TL;DR: Results indicate that enhancement of a single lysosomal hydrolase, GCase, can effectively reduce α-syn and provide therapeutic benefit in human midbrain neurons, and suggests that GCase activators may prove beneficial as treatments for PD and related synucleinopathies.
