JNCASR researchers discover a key protein complex that enhances autophagy, offering potential therapies for Alzheimer’s, ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed light on the potential therapeutic effects of dihydrotanshinone I (DHT), a ...

Autophagy is the cellular equivalent of a housekeeping system. When operating correctly, it eliminates damaged proteins, ...

Autophagy—meaning “self-eating” in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...

Autophagy is essentially the "rubbish collection" of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

Autophagy is a natural, conserved process where cells degrade and recycle their own components, including damaged proteins and organelles. This targeted removal is orchestrated by cargo receptors, ...

In a groundbreaking first for nutrition science, researchers have published pilot clinical trial data showing that the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) was associated with increased activity of the ...

Mitochondria are central hubs for cellular stress adaptation, with their function integrated with both apoptosis and autophagy pathways that determine cell fate. Alterations in mitochondrial ...
