Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...
Oxidative stress induced by 6-OHDA stimulates autophagy flux, which enhances STX17-mediated autolysosome formation, leading to the degradation of autophagosomal contents. However, in response to ...
A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...
Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...
