Autophagy and Its Possible Roles in Nervous System Diseases, Damage and Repair

Abstract excerpt

Increased numbers of autophagosomes/autophagic vacuoles are seen in a variety of physiological and pathological states in the nervous system. In many cases, it is unclear if this phenomenon is the result of increased autophagic activity or decreased autophagosome-lysosome fusion. The functional significance of autophagy and its relationship to cell death in the nervous system is also poorly understood. In this...
