Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. Scientists have now uncovered possible novel functions for various autophagy genes, which may control ...

Scientists have discovered that when we give ourselves a break from eating – something extraordinary begins to happen to us. Our cells don’t just “rest”. They wake up and repair. They do a house ...

Thus, blocking autophagy cuts off the fuel supply to the powerhouses, creating and energy crisis and ultimately cancer cell death. Q: What is the implication of this finding? A: This finding suggests ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

Autophagy has been shown to be a key player in preventing aging and diseases of aging, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Notably, research has shown that ...

Is a little understood background as to why IF works. And it is Autophagy. Autophagy is a naturally occurring process in our bodies where cells remove toxins, recycle parts and repair their own damage ...

By identifying and characterizing three key autophagy genes and tracking their responses under environmental stress, the study could help improve fish ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

Researchers grew human lacrimal gland like organoids (mini tear glands) from stem cells to study dry eye disease and what goes wrong inside tear glands. When they genetically switched off autophagy (a ...
