Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

The nucleation phase of autophagy has proven to be exceedingly complicated and hard to study, which is why it is still not fully understood. In the following section we will outline the main steps ...

Autophagy and apoptosis may be triggered by ... The second pathway involves the conjugation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to LC3/Atg8 (LC3 is one of the mammalian homologues of Atg8) by the ...

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 ...

Though the function of ufmylation in ER stress and autophagy has been described in mammals, their detailed roles in plant development and stress responses remain elusive. In this study, we identified ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Autophagy, particularly through the protein ATG5, plays a crucial role in maintaining brain health by regulating glucose metabolism in neurons. In Purkinje cells ...
