Role of Autophagy in Photoreceptor Cell Survival and Death

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy, a highly conserved self-degradation process that occurs under both physiological and pathological conditions, provides the raw material and energy for cell regeneration under normal circumstances. Dysregulated autophagy under diseased conditions may cause protein accumulation, organelle dysfunction, and even cell death. Recent studies have shown that autophagy regulates the structural integrity and...
