Autophagy modulation for cancer therapy

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a homeostatic and catabolic process that enables the sequestration and lysosomal degradation of cytoplasmic organelles and proteins that is important for the maintenance of genomic stability and cell survival. Beclin 1 (+/- ) gene knockout mice are tumor prone, indicating a tumor suppressor role for autophagy. Autophagy is also mechanism of stress tolerance that maintains cell viability and can lead...
