Orchestrating the network of molecular pathways affecting aging: Role of nonselective autophagy and mitophagy.

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is best known as a mechanism involved in cellular recycling of biomolecules during periods of nutritional starvation. More recently, an additional function of autophagy emerged: the selective degradation of functionally impaired or surplus proteins, organelles and invading bacteria. With this function autophagy is integrated in a network of pathways involved in molecular and cellular quality control...
