Autophagy a self-eating process where the body’s cells recycle their own damaged components to maintain health Our experts ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.

Autophagy, the cell’s essential 'housekeeping' process, involves degrading and recycling damaged organelles, proteins, and other components to prevent clutter. This vital mechanism, found in all life ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on January 28, 2026, titled "Dual targeting of oncogenic microtubules and mitochondria in PDAC." In this study led by first author ...
