Understanding Autophagy in Cell Death Control

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway which primary functions as a cell survival adaptive mechanism during stress conditions. Autophagy is a tumor suppressor process and induction of the autophagic machinery can cause cell demise in apoptosis-resistant cancer. Thus, this metabolic pathway can act either to prevent or to promote carcinogenesis, as well as to modulate the response to...
