Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. In cancer, autophagy exhibits a context-dependent dual role: In early stages, autophagy acts as a tumor suppressor by preserving genomic integrity and limiting oxidative stress. In advanced stages, autophagy supports tumor progression by...
