Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy and apoptosis dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief introduction to autophagy and apoptosis pathways focusing on the role of mitochondria and lysosomes, and discuss different ways that autophag and apoptotic modulation may be employed for therapeutic intervention during the maintenance of neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interconnections between apoptotic, autophagic and necrotic pathways : implications for cancer therapy development

TL;DR: This review extends the analysis of cell death beyond apoptosis to include signalling pathways governing autophagy and necrosis and highlights stress‐induced cell senescence that plays a role not only in organismal ageing but also offers the development of novel anticancer strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salinomycin induces activation of autophagy, mitophagy and affects mitochondrial polarity: Differences between primary and cancer cells☆

TL;DR: A massive autophagic response to Salinomycin is shown (substantially stronger than to commonly used Autophagic inducer Rapamycin) in prostrate-, breast cancer cells, and to lesser degree in human normal dermal fibroblasts, and new insight is provided into the molecular mechanism of preferential toxicity of SalInomycin towards cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

New frontiers in the treatment of colorectal cancer: Autophagy and the unfolded protein response as promising targets

TL;DR: This review addresses the epidemiology and risk factors of CRC, including genetic mutations leading to the occurrence of the disease and how autophagy and the UPR are involved in the regulation of CRC and how they associate with obesity and inflammatory responses in CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

FDA approved drugs with pharmacotherapeutic potential for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) therapy.

TL;DR: The initial results of a number of clinical trials involving various protocols of administration of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine mostly point towards their beneficial effect, but they may not be effective in cases with persistently high viremia, while results on ivermectin (another antiparasitic agent) are not yet available.
