Lucy’s ventral midbrain astrocyte paper accepted in Brain Communications!
Great news – Lucy’s paper is out! In this work, we show that ventral midbrain astrocytes derived from human iPSCs (stem cells) have a specific inflammatory secretory profile, emphasizing how astrocytes – like neurons – have regional identities. This is important for understanding inflammatory responses in disease-susceptible areas of the brain.

2nd Autophagy Essays in Biochemistry volume is now online!
This exciting new volume contains 14 chapters on the regulation of autophagy in health and disease. “Signalling Mechanisms in Autophagy” is written by experts in the autophagy field. Starting with reviews on the control of autophagy via mTORC, ULK1 and receptor tyrosine kinases, the volume then explores the roles that autophagy plays in cytoplasmic quality control and the response to damaged organelles and invading microorganisms, including how the autophagy machinery influences protein secretion, and the control of autophagy in plants. The final chapters deal with autophagy in disease, with an emphasis on signalling mechanisms.
This volume is published as part of the TransAutophagy Working Group 1 objectives.
Eds: Lane, Korolchuk, Murray (for more detail on content, please see our Editorial).

Also published under the TransAutophagy umbrella WG1 will be an updated Essays in Biochemistry volume entitled “Signalling Mechanisms in Autophagy” (available very soon). This is co-edited by Jon with Viktor Korolchuck (Newcastle, UK) and James Murray (TCD, Eire), and contains chapters focussed on signalling control of autophagy.
