A research team has discovered a novel mechanism essential for initiating autophagy. The study highlights the role of ZDHHC13, an enzyme that palmitoylates ULK1, in triggering autophagy. This ...

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

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 ...
