Inhibition of macroautophagy triggers apoptosis.

TL;DR: Data indicate that autophagy may be cytoprotective, at least under conditions of nutrient depletion, and point to an important cross talk between type 1 and type 2 cell death pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of autophagy by cytoplasmic p53

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of a key signalling pathway that links autophagy to the cancer-associated dysregulation of p53, which improved the survival of p 53-deficient cancer cells under conditions of hypoxia and nutrient depletion, allowing them to maintain high ATP levels.
