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

CD44 is of Functional Importance for Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells

TL;DR: CD44 is a robust marker and is of functional importance for colorectal CSC for cancer initiation and Knockdown of CD44, but not CD133, strongly prevented clonal formation and inhibited tumorigenicity in xenograft model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Canonical and non-canonical autophagy: variations on a common theme of self-eating?

TL;DR: Findings suggest that macroautophagy can also occur in the absence of some of these key autophagy proteins, through the unconventional biogenesis of canonical autophagosomes, and such alternatives to the evolutionarily conserved scheme might provide additional therapeutic opportunities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of macroautophagy regulation in mammalian cells.

TL;DR: The regulation of autophagy is now better understood because of the discovery that the activity of Atg complexes is targeted by protein kinases, and owing to the importance of nuclear regulation via transcription factors in regulating the expression of autophile genes.
