    TFEB/Mitf links impaired nuclear import to autophagolysosomal dysfunction in C9-ALS

    Kathleen M Cunningham, Kirstin Maulding ... Thomas E Lloyd
    Impaired nuclear import of the transcription factor TFEB/MITF is a major cause of autophagy and lysosome dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by mutations in the C9orf72 gene.
