Autophagy is a process by which cellular material is degraded by lysosomes or vacuoles and recycled. Several autophagy pathways operate within a cell, including macroautophagy, microautophagy and ...
AMPK is a central regulator of metabolism and autophagy. Here we show how lysosomal damage activates AMPK. This occurs via a hitherto unrecognized signal transduction system whereby cytoplasmic ...
Damaged or superfluous proteins and other components inside a cell are broken down in a process called autophagy. Aging research has established that autophagy pathways become less active with age ...
This was accompanied by an impairment of mitochondrial function with reduced expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and an induction of acyl-coenzyme A oxidase-1 (ACOX1), oxidative stress and ...
