The different autophagy degradation pathways and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: The term autophagy encompasses different pathways that route cytoplasmic material to lysosomes for degradation and includes macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophathy, and microautophathy as discussed by the authors .

Autophagy in health and disease: From molecular mechanisms to therapeutic target

TL;DR: This review will focus on the latest development of autophagy research, covering molecular mechanisms in control of autphagosome biogenesis and autophagosome–lysosome fusion, and the upstream regulatory pathways including the AMPK and MTORC1 pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy and Renal Fibrosis

TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the characteristics of autophagy and summarize the recent advances in understanding the functions of auto-phagia in renal fibrosis, and discuss the possibility of using autophagia as a potential therapeutic target for renal disease.

Aging conundrum: A perspective for ovarian aging

TL;DR: The hallmarks of aging are discussed and the potential role of stem cells and cryopreservation of embryos, oocytes, or ovarian tissue in the delay of ovarian aging is elaborated.

The Hallmarks of Aging

TL;DR: Nine tentative hallmarks that represent common denominators of aging in different organisms are enumerated, with special emphasis on mammalian aging, to identify pharmaceutical targets to improve human health during aging, with minimal side effects.

Aging: A Theory Based on Free Radical and Radiation Chemistry

TL;DR: It seems possible that one factor in aging may be related to deleterious side attacks of free radicals (which are normally produced in the course of cellular metabolism) on cell constituents.

Loss of autophagy in the central nervous system causes neurodegeneration in mice

TL;DR: It is found that mice lacking Atg7 specifically in the central nervous system showed behavioural defects, including abnormal limb-clasping reflexes and a reduction in coordinated movement, and died within 28 weeks of birth, and that impairment of autophagy is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders involving ubiquitin-containing inclusion bodies.

Autophagy regulates lipid metabolism

TL;DR: A previously unknown function for autophagy in regulating intracellular lipid stores (macrolipophagy) is identified that could have important implications for human diseases with lipid over-accumulation such as those that comprise the metabolic syndrome.

Why is disabled macroautophagy hallmark of aging?

The paper does not directly state why disabled macroautophagy is a hallmark of aging. The paper discusses the important contribution of malfunctioning autophagy to the loss of proteostasis in aging organisms.
