ASCI member Puneet Opal et al. Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine show that neurofilaments accumulate and dually disrupt the process of autophagy in neurons when gigaxonin function is compromised-- contributing to the pathogenesis of other neurodegenerative diseases with neurofilament accumulations.
