Autophagy, apoptosis, and mitochondria: molecular integration and physiological relevance in skeletal muscle

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis and autophagy are processes resulting from the integration of cellular stress and death signals. Their individual importance is highlighted by the lethality of various mouse models missing apoptosis or autophagy-related genes. In addition to their independent roles, significant overlap exists with respect to the signals that stimulate these processes as well as their effector consequences. While these...
