Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) in polyglutamine-related diseases: From mechanisms to therapeutic perspectives

Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) is a crucial process aimed at maintaining proteostasis in several neurodegenerative diseases associated with protein misfolding, including polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases. Autophagy is a critical lysosome-mediated degradation pathway,...
