When we give ourselves a break from eating, our cells wake up and repair. Researchers hope further study could pave the way ...

Thus, blocking autophagy cuts off the fuel supply to the powerhouses, creating and energy crisis and ultimately cancer cell death. Q: What is the implication of this finding? A: This finding suggests ...

Is a little understood background as to why IF works. And it is Autophagy. Autophagy is a naturally occurring process in our bodies where cells remove toxins, recycle parts and repair their own damage ...

A new study unravels the relationship between mitofusins (mitochondrial proteins) and autophagy. Using gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, the team has been able to study these proteins without altering ...

Autophagy has been shown to be a key player in preventing aging and diseases of aging, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Notably, research has shown that ...

A new study sheds light on how autophagy, the body's process for removing damaged cell parts, when impaired, can play a role in causing heart failure. The research team led by Dr. E. Dale Abel, chair ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.
