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 ...
Autophagy, the process by which cells recycle damaged components, has long been associated with neuroprotection. However, the precise mechanisms by which autophagy maintains brain health have remained ...
Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.

The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...
When viruses invade a plant, you might expect an all-out immune war. But new research published in Science shows that, much ...
Bladder cancer remains difficult to treat once it becomes advanced, recurrent, or resistant to conventional therapies. A new ...
Fasting makes body 'eat' damaged cells, cuts inflammation, triggers 'autophagy' Ramadan, the month of fasting, giving and prayer, has begun. This year, Ramadan falls at the same time as Lent, when ...
Plants use selective autophagy to reduce parts of their immune response during viral infections, preventing self-inflicted damage and enhancing survival. Autophagy role, cellular balance: Autophagy ...
