This study shows that axonal mitochondria depletion disrupts autophagy and proteostasis in neurons, mediated by the eIF2β pathway, contributing to aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

The paper shows that glucose uptake in pigment glia reduces inflammation and photoreceptor degeneration in a Drosophila model of tauopathy.

This study shows that increasing glucose uptake in Drosophila neurons improves ATP levels, reduces aging-related deficits, and extends lifespan, especially under dietary restriction.
