Cancer Science, 2021 AbstractWhile starvation‐induced autophagy is thought to randomly degrade cellular components, under certain circumstances autophagy selectively recognizes, sequesters, and degrades specific targets via autophagosomes. This process is called selective autophagy, and it contributes to cellular homeostasis by degrading specific soluble proteins ...

Autophagy-Independent Functions of the Autophagy Machinery [PDF]
Cell, 2019 Macroautophagy (herein referred to as autophagy) is an evolutionary ancient mechanism that culminates with the lysosomal degradation of superfluous or potentially dangerous cytosolic entities. Over the past 2 decades, the molecular mechanisms underlying several variants of autophagy have been characterized in detail. Accumulating evidence suggests that

Assessing Autophagy in Archived Tissue or How to Capture Autophagic Flux from a Tissue Snapshot
Biology, 2020 Autophagy is a highly conserved degradation mechanism that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In human disease, autophagy pathways are frequently deregulated and there is immense interest in targeting autophagy for therapeutic approaches.

Autophagy-monitoring and autophagy-deficient mice [PDF]
Autophagy, 2017 Discovery of yeast autophagy-related (ATG) genes and subsequent identification of their homologs in other organisms have enabled researchers to investigate physiological functions of macroautophagy/autophagy using genetic techniques. Specific identification of autophagy-related structures is important to evaluate autophagic activity, and specific ...

The Role of Autophagy in the Female Reproduction System: For Beginners to Experts in This Field
Biology, 2023 Autophagy is a fundamental process involved in regulating cellular homeostasis. Autophagy has been classically discovered as a cellular process that degrades cytoplasmic components non-selectively to produce energy.

Unraveling membrane properties at the organelle-level with LipidDyn
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Cellular membranes are formed from different lipids in various amounts and proportions depending on the subcellular localization. The lipid composition of membranes is sensitive to changes in the cellular environment, and its alterations are linked to ...

Mitophagy and Neurodegeneration: Between the Knowns and the Unknowns
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Macroautophagy (henceforth autophagy) an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway, involves lysosomal degradation of damaged and superfluous cytosolic contents to maintain cellular homeostasis.

Current Biology, 2019 In 1955, the biologist and Nobel Prize laureate Christian de Duve discovered that cells possess specialized organelles filled with hydrolytic enzymes and he called these organelles lysosomes. At the same time, electron microscopy studies by Novikoff and colleagues showed that intracellular dense bodies, which later turned out to be lysosomes, contain ...
