Pancreatic fibrosis is an important pathophysiological feature of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Our recent study has shown that milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) is beneficial in acute pancreatitis. However, its role in CP remained unknown.

Functional Role of Hepatitis C Virus NS5A in the Regulation of Autophagy
Many types of RNA viruses, including the hepatitis C virus (HCV), activate autophagy in infected cells to promote viral growth and counteract the host defense response.

Sequences of Alterations in Inflammation and Autophagy Processes in Rd1 Mice
(1) Background: the aim of this work was to study microglia and autophagy alterations in a one retinitis pigmentosa (RP) model at different stages of the disease (when rods are dying and later, when there are almost no rods, and cones are the cells that ...

Effects of Small Molecules on Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, including macroautophagy (MA), chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), crinophagy, pexophagy and microautophagy, are processes by which cells select internal components such as proteins, secretory vesicles, organelles, or foreign bodies, and deliver them to lysosomes for degradation. MA and CMA are activated during conditions of serum withdrawal

Consequences of the selective blockage of chaperone-mediated autophagy [PDF]
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective pathway for the degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes. CMA declines with age because of a decrease in the levels of lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) type 2A, a lysosomal receptor for this pathway.

Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy and Its Emerging Role in Hematological Malignancies
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) ensures the selective degradation of cellular proteins endowed with a KFERQ-like motif by lysosomes. It is estimated that 30% of all cellular proteins can be directed to the lysosome for CMA degradation, but only a few ...
