Integration of Autophagy and Anoikis Resistance in Solid Tumors
20 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy or autophagy is a lysosome-dependent process in which enzymatic degradation and recycling of cytosolic components occurred due to stressful conditions. This cellular arrangement imparts anoikis resistance in solid tumors. Anoikis, a special form of apoptosis occurring when cells detach from the extracellular matrix, is a critical mechanism in maintaining tissue homeostasis and development. Anoikis...
