By identifying and characterizing three key autophagy genes and tracking their responses under environmental stress, the study could help improve fish ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

Having come through a few challenging years and looking at how things have changed because of the pandemic, two critical elements come into focus quite quickly for me: resourcefulness and the concept ...

The coming of spring harkens spring cleaning; a time to de-clutter your home and discard things that are no longer needed. In the body, a cellular process called autophagy occurs regularly to ...
