Autophagy induction regulates influenza virus replication in a time-dependent manner [PDF]
Autophagy plays a key role in host defence responses against microbial infections by promoting degradation of pathogens and participating in acquired immunity.

Autophagy is the degradative process by which eukaryotic cells digest their own components using acid hydrolases within the lysosome. Originally thought to function almost exclusively in providing starving cells with nutrients taken from their own cellular constituents, autophagy is in fact involved in numerous cellular events including differentiation,

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 ...

Recent discoveries have revealed the importance of the vitamin D-dependent generation of antimicrobial peptides in human host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Now, Yuk et al. (2009) show how vitamin D induces autophagy and mediates colocalization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and antimicrobial peptides within an autophagolysosome, leading to

The Autophagy Connection [PDF]
For a process intimately connected to an immense range of physiological processes, the molecular understanding of macroautophagy remains far from complete. Recent large-scale studies, including those of Behrends et al. in Nature and Lipinski et al. in Developmental Cell, are now providing new insight into the machinery of autophagy regulation.

Autophagy in neutrophils [PDF]
Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular degradation and energy-recycling mechanism that contributes to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Extensive researches over the past decades have defined the role of autophagy innate immune cells. In this review, we describe the current state of knowledge regarding the role of autophagy in neutrophil ...

Experimental Control and Characterization of Autophagy in Drosophila [PDF]
Insects such as the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, which fundamentally reorganize their body plan during metamorphosis, make extensive use of autophagy for their normal development and physiology.
