Atg8 Controls Phagophore Expansion during Autophagosome Formation [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2008 Autophagy is a potent intracellular degradation process with pivotal roles in health and disease. Atg8, a lipid-conjugated ubiquitin-like protein, is required for the formation of autophagosomes, double-membrane vesicles responsible for the delivery of cytoplasmic material to lysosomes.

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2013 Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Autophagy: A cyto-protective mechanism which prevents primary human hepatocyte apoptosis during oxidative stress [PDF]
, 2012 The role of autophagy in the response of human hepatocytes to oxidative stress remains unknown. Understanding this process may have important implications for the understanding of basic liver epithelial cell biology and the responses of hepatocytes ...

Signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 localizes to the mitochondria and modulates mitophagy [PDF]
, 2013 The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are latent transcription factors that have been shown to be involved in cell proliferation, development, apoptosis, and autophagy. STAT proteins undergo activation by phosphorylation at

Phospholipids in Autophagosome Formation and Fusion
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2016 Autophagosomes are double membrane organelles that are formed during a process referred to as macroautophagy. They serve to deliver cytoplasmic material into the lysosome for degradation. Autophagosomes are formed in a de novo manner and are the result of substantial membrane remodeling processes involving numerous protein-lipid interactions.

The multifunctional autophagy pathway in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
, 2013 Autophagy is a catabolic pathway typically induced by nutrient starvation to recycle amino acids, but can also function in removing damaged organelles. In addition, this pathway plays a key role in eukaryotic development. To date, not much is known about
