Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
8 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a catabolic process by which cells maintain cellular homeostasis through the degradation of dysfunctional cytoplasmic components, such as toxic misfolded proteins and damaged organelles, within the lysosome. It is a multistep process that is tightly regulated by nutrient, energy, and stress-sensing mechanisms. Autophagy plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, including protein and...
