TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The identification of TNF receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP1), a mitochondrial molecular chaperone also known as heat shock protein 75 (Hsp75), as a cellular substrate for PINK1 kinase is reported, and a novel pathway by which Pink1 phosphorylates downstream effector TRAP1 to prevent oxidative-stress-induced apoptosis is suggested.

TL;DR: Proteomic analyses reveal that the full-length UCH-L1 is a major target of oxidative damage in AD and PD brains, which is extensively modified by carbonyl formation, methionine oxidation, and cysteine oxidation and immunohistochemical studies show that prominent UCH- l1 immunostaining is associated with neurofibrillary tangles and that the level of soluble UCH- L1 protein is inversely proportional to the number of tangles in AD brains.
