Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. Scientists have now uncovered possible novel functions for various autophagy genes, which may control ...

The ability of plants to grow faster and stronger is traced to autophagy, along with key enzymes and proteins such as AFR7, ...

Researchers reveal how a nanomachine takes care of cleaning up inside the cell. To prevent our body's cells from overflowing with garbage and to keep them healthy, the waste inside them is constantly ...

Our immune system has various ways to deal with threats from the outside like pathogens. One of the defence mechanisms is a process called autophagy. 'You can imagine autophagy as the vacuum cleaner ...

Research from investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University Medical Center, shows the intracellular process of ...

From PCR and CRISPR to autophagy and targeted cancer therapies, scientists share the discoveries that shaped their work and ...

Autophagy has been shown to be a key player in preventing aging and diseases of aging, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Notably, research has shown that ...

The mechanism of astrocytic autophagy plasticity plays a crucial role in AD. When the autophagy-regulating genes (LC3B and SQSTM1) in astrocytes are activated, Aβ is efficiently removed, which is ...
