| Animal Models to Study Autophagy By Christina Towers, PhD What is autophagy?Autophagy is the catabolic process that degrades cytoplasmic material via the lysosome. The process of macroautophagy was originally characterized in yeast, where the... Read more. |
| Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration: Protein aggregation and failure of autophagy By Michalina Hanzel, PhDIn a series of three blog posts I will briefly explore the major cellular mechanisms responsible for many neurodegenerative disorders. The first, and perhaps the most apparent, is the accumulat... Read more. |
| Liver ASK1 activates autophagy to protect against hepatic fat accumulation, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis By Jamshed Arslan, Pharm. D., PhD. The most common chronic liver disorder worldwide is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This obesity-linked disorder can manifest as hepatic fat accumulation (steatosis) wit... Read more. |
| ATG9A - early marker autophagosome assembly ATG9A is the only essential integral membrane protein involved in autophagy. ATG9A contains six transmembrane domains and initiates the assembly of autophagosomes. The autophagosome is a double-membrane structure that engulfs and eventually degrade... Read more. |
| Atg9b - a marker for autophagosome induction and assembly Atg9 is the only essential transmembrane protein involved in cellular autophagy. Autophagy regulates cellular homeostasis by allowing the turnover and recycling of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. Formation of the double-membrane isolatio... Read more. |
