For Molecule’s second IP-NFT, we illustrated a key concept from the Korolchuk Lab’s research proposal. Using a “before” and “after” approach, this piece demonstrates how the compounds being investigated might reinvigorate a diseased cell’s dysfunctional autophagy pathways. Compared with the disease state on the left-hand side, the right-hand side shows the impact of these compounds, which are represented by the glowing blue particles in suspension. Color was used to distinguish the disease scenario (red tones typically suggest danger) from the solution scenario (blue and greens typically suggest health or resolve). When the compounds are present, many changes take place in the scene including mitochondria ‘boosting’, reinvigorated autophagy pathways, fusion of the lysosome and autophagosome, and degradation of damaging cellular contents.
