New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI) A cell's automatic waste clearance may now be externally manipulated, potentially helping researchers understand cell cleansing in cancer or Parkinson's disease, where the ...

Researchers have discovered a method to externally manipulate a cell's automatic waste clearance process, known as autophagy.

Autophagy is a critical cellular process that removes damaged organelles and recycles nutrients to maintain homeostasis. In cancer, autophagy plays a complex role, supporting tumor suppression and ...

Scientists from India and the US have engineered LC3 proteins to increase or reduce autophagy, the cell’s waste-clearing ...

In a landmark biomedical breakthrough that challenges decades of conventional cell biology, an international team of researchers has demonstrated that autophagy—the body's internal cellular ...

New research shows that BH3 mimetic drugs targeting antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins can sensitize bladder cancer cells ...

“The implication here is that if you inhibit autophagy you'd make this less likely to happen, i.e. when you kill cancer cells they would stay dead,” Andrew Thorburn, the senior author of the study and ...
