Autophagy, the process by which cells recycle damaged components, has long been associated with neuroprotection. However, the ...
The term 'autophagy' was chosen to distinguish the lysosomal degradation, or 'eating' (phagy), of part of the cell's self (auto) from the breakdown of extracellular material (heterophagy).
A research team from Frankfurt and Freiburg has discovered how cells recognize and internally break down waste. The results ...
Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are ...
Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.
Autophagy, the cell's essential housekeeping process, involves degrading and recycling damaged organelles, proteins, and ...
Aging involves gradual functional decline across various biological systems, including impaired cellular mechanisms such as ...
Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is ...
When STING is triggered, TANK-binding kinase (TBK1) activates and leads to interferon production. However, Tan and his team ...
Researchers have discovered that weak molecular interactions are crucial for initiating autophagy, the process of recycling ...
