Macroautophagy is a specific variant of autophagy that involves a dedicated double-membraned organelle commonly known as autophagosome. Various methods have been developed to quantify the size of the autophagosomal compartment,...

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that mediates prominent homeostatic functions, both at the cellular and organismal level. Indeed, baseline autophagy not only ensures the disposal of cytoplasmic entities that...

Autophagy is a cellular recycling program that retards ageing by efficiently eliminating damaged and potentially harmful organelles and intracellular protein aggregates. Here, we show that the abundance of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)...

Several natural compounds found in health-related food items can inhibit acetyltransferases as they induce autophagy. Here we show that this applies to anacardic acid, curcumin, garcinol and spermidine, all of...

Plastics provide many advantages that set them apart as materials for use in medical applications. However, despite these advantages, an appreciation of the environmental concerns associated with their production and...
