Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved eukaryotic mechanism that mediates the removal of long-lived cytoplasmic macromolecules and damaged organelles via a lysosomal degradative pathway.

The findings reported here demonstrate that hepatitis B virus (HBV) can enhance the autophagic process in...
