Neuronal lysosomal dysfunction releases exosomes harboring APP C-terminal fragments and unique lipid signatures

Neurodegeneration is increasingly associated with endolysosomal and autophagy dysfunction. Here, Miranda and colleagues show that disruption of neuronal PI3P/Vps34 signaling leads to endolysosomal membrane damage and aberrant release of undigested material in APP-CTF- and BMP-positive exosomes.
