Early endosomes and endosomal coatomer are required for autophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, an intracellular degradative pathway, maintains cell homeostasis under normal and stress conditions. Nascent double-membrane autophagosomes sequester and enclose cytosolic components and organelles, and subsequently fuse with the endosomal ...

Autophagy Flux Correlates with Upregulation of AKT-1 in RAS Mutated Colon Cancer Cells [PDF]
Background: The AKT/PKB (protein kinase B) kinase is the main regulator of autophagy in mammalian cells, which consists of three isoforms, including AKT-1, AKT-2, and AKT-3.

The selectivity and specificity of autophagy in drosophila [PDF]
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-degradation and is a major pathway for elimination of cytoplasmic material by the lysosomes. Autophagy is responsible for the degradation of damaged organelles and protein aggregates and therefore plays a ...

Structure and Dynamics in the ATG8 Family From Experimental to Computational Techniques
Autophagy is a conserved and essential intracellular mechanism for the removal of damaged components. Since autophagy deregulation is linked to different kinds of pathologies, it is fundamental to gain knowledge on the fine molecular and structural ...

Cutting a fine figure : On the use of thin sections in electron microscopy to quantify autophagy [PDF]
Over the last few years, two guideline articles have been published with recommendations for assessing autophagy. These articles contained advice on quantification of autophagy by electron microscopy and proposed using thin slices for quantifying ...

Receptor proteins in selective autophagy [PDF]
Autophagy has long been thought to be an essential but unselective bulk degradation pathway. However, increasing evidence suggests selective autophagosomal turnover of a broad range of substrates.

Autophagy, selective autophagy, and necroptosis in COPD
COPD is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation, caused by a mixture of small airway disease and pulmonary emphysema. Programmed cell death has drawn the attention of COPD researchers because emphysema is thought to result from epithelial cell death caused by smoking.
