A research team has uncovered a new mechanism involving astrocytes for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and proposed a novel therapeutic target. AD, a representative form of senile dementia, occurs ...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized clinically by poor survival and mechanistically by KRAS- and autophagy-dependent growth. We and others previously demonstrated that inhibition ...
Oxidative stress induced by 6-OHDA stimulates autophagy flux, which enhances STX17-mediated autolysosome formation, leading to the degradation of autophagosomal contents. However, in response to ...
They demonstrated that C53-mediated autophagy was conserved among eukaryotes and that C53 co-evolved with the UFMylation pathway. Molecular remnants or the existence of related proteins indicated that ...
Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. In the January 4th issue of Nature Aging, it was noted that scientists from the Buck Institute, ...
Nutrient deprivation inhibits mTORC1 and activates AMPK, which then dephosphorylates or phosphorylates ULK1 at different sites, leading to the activation of the ULK complex and initiation of the ...
AUTOPHAGY IS A hot topic on TikTok, with videos tagged #autophagy racking up nearly 35 million views. People are likely talking so much about autophagy because the subject is closely linked to the ...
Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly regulated processes in eukaryotic cells. Conventionally, proteins that are ...
