Induction of autophagy and inhibition of tumorigenesis by beclin 1.

TL;DR: It is shown that beclin 1 is a mammalian autophagy gene that can inhibit tumorigenesis and is expressed at decreased levels in human breast carcinoma, suggesting that decreased expression of Autophagy proteins may contribute to the development or progression of breast and other human malignancies.

Macrophage Autophagy Plays a Protective Role in Advanced Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: A mechanism-based strategy to therapeutically suppress atherosclerosis progression and its clinical sequelae is suggested, suggesting a protective process in oxidatively stressed macrophages relevant to plaque necrosis.

Caspase-2 Mediates Neuronal Cell Death Induced by β-Amyloid

TL;DR: The results indicate that caspase-2 is necessary for Aβ1–42-induced apoptosis in vitro, and neurons from casp enzyme-2 null mice were totally resistant to Aβ 1–42 toxicity, confirming the importance of this caspases in Aβ-induced death.
