Autophagy is activated and involved in cell death with participation of cathepsins during stress-induced microspore embryogenesis in barley [PDF]
, 2018 Microspores are reprogrammed towards embryogenesis by stress. Many microspores die after this stress, limiting the efficiency of microspore embryogenesis. Autophagy is a degradation pathway that plays critical roles in stress response and cell death.

Expression and Localization of Cathepsins B, D, and G in Dupuytren’s Disease
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2018 Background:. The pathogenesis of Dupuytren’s disease (DD) remains unclear. An embryonic stem cell (ESC)–like population in the endothelium of the microvessels around tissues that expresses components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been ...
