Presenilins as hub proteins controlling the endocytic and autophagic pathways and small extracellular vesicle secretion by Inger Lauritzen, Anaïs Bini, Anaïs Bécot, Anne‐Sophie Gay, Céline Badot, Sophie Pagnotta, Mounia Chami, Frédéric Checler

“…Altogether, we here demonstrate that PSENs, and particularly PSEN1, act as hub proteins controlling the balance between endosomal/autophagic degradation and secretion. More generally, our findings strengthen the view of a strong interconnection between the endocytic and autophagic pathways and their complementary roles in sEV secretion.…”
