Clemente-Postigo Mercedes , Coin-Araguez Leticia , Lhamyani Said , Gentile Adriana-Mariel , Alcaide-Torres Juan , bekay Rajaa El , Tinahones Francisco J

Introduction and aims: Autophagy is an essential process for cell homeostasis that implies recycling and degradation of damaged organelles and long-lived proteins. It is induced during caloric restriction (in order to obtain energy) or other stress-inducing conditions. Autophagy is initiated by autophagosome formation, a double-membrane vesicle which engulfs cellular components and delivers them for degradation by fusing with lysosomes. Thus, proper autophagy regulation favour...
