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 ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

Researchers suggest targeting ECM-mediated regulation of autophagy levels could be used to sensitize pancreatic cancer to FDA-approved therapies.

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

Autophagy is a natural, conserved process where cells degrade and recycle their own components, including damaged proteins and organelles. This targeted removal is orchestrated by cargo receptors, ...

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 ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.
