How do cells remove abnormal glycogen?
Led by Matthew Yip, using mouse models, cell engineering & cryo-ET, Felix Randow's group found that RNF213 ubiquitylates aberrant glycogen to trigger autophagy.

Prof @felixrandow.bsky.social, Matthew Yip and colleagues at @cam.ac.uk @mrclmb.ac.uk have discovered a previously unknown cellular defence system that protects the brain from abnormal glycogen accumulations, which are linked to severe neurological disorders.
