Autophagy and Caspases: A New Cell Death Program
9 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is used to degrade components of the cytoplasm and functions as a cell survival mechanism during nutrient deprivation. Autophagic structures have also been observed in many types of dying cells, but experimental evidence for autophagy playing a role in the regulation of programmed cell death is limited. We have recently shown that the autophagy genes Atg7 and Beclin1 are required for the death of...
