Interplay between histone deacetylases and autophagy ‐ from cancer therapy to neurodegeneration

Abstract excerpt

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are chromatin modifiers that alter gene expression but also exert a broad range of functions outside the nucleus by deacetylating non-histone target proteins. They gained growing attention for their implications in disease treatment, mainly through research using HDAC-inhibiting compounds. Understanding the effects of HDAC function and deregulation has therefore become an important...
