Researchers suggest targeting ECM-mediated regulation of autophagy levels could be used to sensitize pancreatic cancer to FDA-approved therapies.

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 ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

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 ...

Scientists at IISER Pune have discovered how plants heal after injury. When a plant is wounded, a special system called autophagy activates. This system cleans up damaged cells and reduces stress.
