Autophagy in Stem Cell Biology: A Perspective on Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process that degrades modified, surplus, or harmful cytoplasmic components by sequestering them in autophagosomes which then fuses with the lysosome for degradation. As a major intracellular degradation and recycling pathway, autophagy is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, as well as for remodeling during normal development. Impairment of this process has been...
