In 2000, it was suggested to me that “Autophagy will be the wave of the future; it will become the new apoptosis.” Few people would have agreed at the time, but this statement turned out to be ...

严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种由蜱传播的布尼亚病毒—SFTS病毒（SFTSV）引起的新兴病毒性出血热，具有较高的致死率。之前发现SFTSV的核蛋白（NP）能够诱导巨自噬或自噬以促进病毒复制。然而，NP在拮抗宿主先天免疫中的作用尚不明确。

衰老是一种不可避免的现象，并伴有几种合并症。为此，对衰老影响的研究变得至关重要，科学家们正在寻找减缓衰老及其对人体有害影响的方法。 衰老是一种不可避免的现象，并伴有几种合并症。为此，对衰老影响的研究变得至关重要，科学家们正在寻找减缓 ...

Our work on autophagy involves determining the molecular pathways regulating autophagy during pathogen infection. Autophagy has been recently shown to be an important component of the innate immune ...

Think of autophagy as your body’s recycling system. The word literally means “self-eating” in Greek, but don’t let that gross you out—it’s a good thing! Autophagy is the process through which your ...

Autophagy is a natural regeneration process that occurs at a cellular level in the body, reducing the likelihood of contracting some diseases as well as prolonging lifespan. In 2016, Japanese ...

Autophagy, a eukaryotic mechanism for breaking down cellular components, is a vital process in lytic organelles such as vacuoles in yeast and plants, and lysosomes in animals. Research has ...

A research team has uncovered a new mechanism involving astrocytes for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and proposed a novel therapeutic target. In their study, the researchers revealed that an ...

An international research team led by Osaka University has identified a new mechanism crucial for the initiation of autophagy, a self-degradation process cells use to eliminate unneeded or damaged ...

Humans and fruit flies both may become forgetful as they age. But because fruit flies have a lifespan of only about two months, they can be a useful model for understanding the cognitive decline that ...
