This process is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing the accumulation of cellular debris, which can lead to premature aging. The potential anti-aging effects of autophagy have ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

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 ...
