Contrasting views on the role of AMPK in autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Efficient management of low energy states is vital for cells to maintain basic functions and metabolism and avoid cell death. While autophagy has long been considered a critical mechanism for ensuring survival during energy depletion, recent research has presented conflicting evidence, challenging the long-standing concept. This recent development suggests that cells prioritize preserving essential cellular...
