Autophagy

Autophagy is a key catabolic process that ensures the removal of excess or damaged cellular components under physiological and pathological conditions, and provides a metabolic supply in the absence of extracellular nutrients, thereby maintaining the proper balance of cells. Optimal autophagy activity plays an important protective role in several human diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease, hereditary myopathy, and melanin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy. Therefore, monitoring autophagy can provide valuable insights into understanding human pathological mechanisms, developing new drugs, and exploring ways to control autophagy. https://neutab.creative-biolabs.com/category-autophagy-30.htm
