The relationship between psychological stress, altered skin immunity, and autophagy-related genes (ATGs) is currently unclear. Psoriasis is a chronic skin inflammation of unclear etiology that is characterized by persistence and recurrence. Immune dy...
Excitotoxicity represents the primary cause of neuronal death following spinal cord injury (SCI). While autophagy plays a critical and intricate role in SCI, the specific mechanism underlying the relationship between excitotoxicity and autophagy in S...

This study aimed to explore the mechanism of apoptosis and autophagy of chondrocytes induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNA-α) by activating the NF-κB signal pathway. For this purpose, 24 SD rats were selected for feeding. The knee cartilage was cut...
During starvation in the yeast vacuolar vesicles fuse and lipid droplets (LDs) can become internalized into the vacuole in an autophagic process named lipophagy. There is a lack of tools to quantitatively assess starvation-induced vacuole fusion and...

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) exacerbates the risk factor for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (PD) by promoting the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in the brain. However, the molecular mechanisms of astrocytes involvement in α-syn pathol...
Review paper attempts to explain the dynamic aspects of redox signaling in aging through autophagy, inflammation, and senescence. It begins with ROS source in the cell, then states redox signaling in autophagy, and regulation of autophagy in aging. N...
BACKGROUND: Autophagy refers to the conserved cellular catabolic process relevant to lysosome activity and plays a vital role in maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of intracellular matter by degrading harmful and abnormally accumulated cellular comp...
In this issue of PLOS Biology, Ibrahim and colleagues demonstrate how AlphaFold-multimer, an artificial intelligence-based structure prediction tool, can be used to identify sequence motifs binding to the ATG8 family of proteins central to autophagy.
The study of complex diseases relies on large amounts of data to build models toward precision medicine. Such data acquisition is feasible in the context of high-throughput screening, in which the quality of the results relies on the accuracy of the ...
