Impaired autophagy bridges lysosomal storage disease and epithelial dysfunction in the kidney
Nephropathic cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by proximal tubular cell dysfunction. Here Festa and colleagues show that these lysosomal alterations lead to defective autophagic clearance of mitochondria and increased oxidative stress that, in turn, activates the transcription...
