Autophagy and Signaling: An In-Depth Overview

Autophagy and Signaling is a comprehensive guide that delves into the various signaling pathways that regulate autophagy in response to different cellular needs. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the current status and future directions of autophagy signaling research, focusing on its role in health and disease.

Cellular Processes and Autophagy

Discussion includes the roles of autophagy in regulating cell fate, immune response and host defense, nutrient sensing and metabolism, neural functions and homeostasis. The mechanisms and significance of cross-talk between autophagy and other cellular processes are also explored in detail.

Aging and Age-Related Pathologies

Lastly, the book describes the alterations in autophagy observed in aging and age-related pathologies, providing valuable insights into the complex interplay between autophagy and cellular health.
