Autophagy—A double‐edged sword in oncology

13 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy or "self-eating" digests proteins and functionless cell organelles to reuse. This cell-own recycling system attracts much attention in tumour biology. One of the major functions of autophagy is maintaining cellular homeostasis. Thus, it is constitutive active in all living cells. Damaged or dispensable proteins and organelles are removed to regulate composition and size of the cytoplasm. Many...
