1 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved cellular pathway responsible for the sequestration of spent organelles and protein aggregates from the cytoplasm and their delivery into lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy plays an important role in adaptation to starvation, in cell survival, immunity, development and cancer.
