Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) was the first studied process that indicated that
degradation of intracellular components by the lysosome can be selective—a concept that is …

Over the past two decades, the molecular machinery that underlies autophagic responses
has been characterized with ever increasing precision in multiple model organisms …

DNA is vulnerable to damage resulting from endogenous metabolites, environmental and
dietary carcinogens, some anti-inflammatory drugs, and genotoxic cancer therapeutics …

Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway active at basal levels in all
cells. However, under stress conditions, such as a lack of nutrients or trophic factors, it works …

Autophagy, an essential cellular process that mediates degradation of proteins and
organelles in lysosomes, has been tightly linked to cellular quality control for its role as part …

The activation of mostly quiescent haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is a prerequisite for life-
long production of blood cells. This process requires major molecular adaptations to allow …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with the degeneration of ventral midbrain
dopaminergic neurons (vmDAns) and the accumulation of toxic α-synuclein. A non-cell …

Neuroinflammation is a pathological change that is involved in the progression of
Parkinson's disease. Dysfunction of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) has …

A variety of mechanisms deliver cytosolic materials to the lysosomal compartment for
degradation through autophagy. Here, we focus on two autophagic pathways, the …

Myofibroblasts play an important role in fibrogenesis. Hepatic stellate cells are the main
precursors of myofibroblasts. Cellular senescence is the terminal cell fate in which …
