Diurnal rhythms of autophagy: Implications for cell biology and human disease

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a key mechanism for cell survival under conditions of nutrient limitation. On the organismal level, autophagy is essential for survival of lower eukaryotes during extended periods of starvation, and it is induced in mammals during short-term starvation. As a consequence of the induction of autophagy during short periods of fasting, animals experience diurnal rhythms of autophagy in concert with their...
