Enduring a week’s worth of cold water plunges can jolt the body’s cells into starting the process of autophagy to clean up and recycle old, worn-out, and broken parts, according to a new study. It ...

Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. Scientists have now uncovered possible novel functions for various autophagy genes, which may control ...

Autophagy (“self-eating”) is the process through which parts of the cell are degraded in the lysosome. Elucidation of the key genes essential for autophagy — originally identified in yeast — has led ...

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 ...

In a twist that blurs the lines between two devastating diseases, scientists have spotted dementia-like behavior in the pancreas. In mice, pancreatic cells teetering on the brink of cancer began to ...

TJS and JB are listed as inventors on a related patent, PCT/AU2020/050908 for measurement of autophagy in humans. “The anti-aging MIRACLE.” “Strengthen your immune system.” “Lose weight fast.” These ...

Autophagy is a natural process that occurs as your body clears out and replaces damaged cell parts with new ones. It occurs within your body at all times. It has been linked to a long list of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Neuron, researchers at the University of Cambridge and Newcastle University, UK, examined the relationship between autophagy, aging, and neurodegeneration.

Scientists have shown that the recycling program of cells, autophagy, leads to the fusion of several single cells into multinucleated cell units during wound healing. A team led by Maria Leptin has ...

The coming of spring harkens spring cleaning; a time to de-clutter your home and discard things that are no longer needed. In the body, a cellular process called autophagy occurs regularly to ...

Autophagy is the major intracellular degradation route in mammalian cells. Systemic ablation of core autophagy-related (ATG) genes in mice leads to embryonic or perinatal lethality, and conditional ...
