Regulation of Autophagy by Sphingolipids
1 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved process by which cells recycle intracellular materials to maintain homeostasis in different cellular contexts. Under basal conditions it prevents accumulation of damaged proteins and organelles; during starvation, autophagy provides cells with sufficient nutrients to survive. Sphingolipids are a family of bioactive molecules modulating vital cellular functions such as...
