Autophagy - Cell Biology, Physiology & Pathology
Autophagy is a tightly regulated catabolic process required for recycling of cytoplasmic components and organelles, and the clearance of intracellular pathogens. It plays an important role in cell differentiation, development and adaptation to environmental stresses such as starvation.
Topics
- The autophagic machinery
- Molecular mechanistics in autophagy
- Selective Autophagy and Organelle Degradation
- Ubiquitination and Autophagy
- Signalling and Membrane Dynamics in Autophagy
- Regulation and Physiology of Autophagy
