Role of autophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans
5 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular catabolic system. During Caenorhabditis elegans development, autophagy plays an important role in many physiological processes, including survival under starvation conditions, modulation of life span, and regulation of necrotic cell death caused by toxic ion-channel variants. Recently, it has been demonstrated that during embryogenesis, basal levels of...
