Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

The cell recycling process, known as autophagy, is controlled by a complex group of proteins. This 3D image reveals the overall structure of the autophagy promoting complex, showing each of its ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...

A complex cellular process called autophagy is the topic of a major new textbook which encapsulates over 30 years of research in this growing field of study. A complex cellular process called ...

Mitochondria are central hubs for cellular stress adaptation, with their function integrated with both apoptosis and autophagy pathways that determine cell fate. Alterations in mitochondrial ...

Autophagy, which literally means "self-eating," is a cellular cleaning-out process that maintains our bodies in good order, but excessive autophagy can be too much of a good thing. Now Weizmann ...

A review led by Academician Yulong Yin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed new light on the intricate interplay between exosomes and autophagy—two ...
