AbstractAutophagy, a conserved catabolic process implicated in a diverse array of human diseases, requires efficient fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes to function effectively. Recently, SNAP47 has been identified as a key component of the dual-purpose SNARE complex mediating autophagosome-lysosome fusion in both bulk and selective autophagy. However, the spatiotemporal regulatory mechanisms of this SNARE complex remain unknown.

Senescent cells (SnCs) accumulate in multiple tissue types with the process of individual aging, hindering tissue renewal and driving multiple aging-related disorders. Aside from senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) neutralization and senolytics, there is an emerging senolysis strategy to eliminate SnCs by mobilizing the immunosurveillance function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
