Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of USP15 promotes pathological autophagy that disrupts neural stem cell homeostasis and neurodevelopment.
During organogenesis, stem cells undergo cellular and metabolic remodelling, facilitated by autophagy-mediated turnover of organelles. Autophagy impairment has been linked to human diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders associated with disrupted neural stem/precursor cell (NPC) homeostasis, but the underlying...
