Histone post-translational modifications regulate autophagy flux and outcome

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process in eukaryotes by which cytoplasmic components including macromolecules and organelles are degraded by the lysosome/vacuole. Autophagy is implicated in a number of physiological processes important for human health and disease. Although primarily cytoprotective, autophagy can also contribute to cell death; it is thus important to understand what distinguishes the...
