Modulation of autophagy influences development and apoptosis in mouse embryos developing in vitro
17 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Autophagyis, the bulk degradation of proteins and organelles, is essential for cellular maintenance, cell viability, and development, and is often involved in type II programmed cell death in mammals. This study investigated the expression levels of autophagy-related genes and the effect of 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor) or rapamycin (an autophagy inducer) on the in vitro development and apoptosis...
