Autophagy – Part C (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology)

Autophagy, Part C, Volume 406 dives cellular housekeeping, weaving together the mechanistic precision of modern biology with the larger questions of health, aging, and resilience. Building on the foundations laid in Parts A and B, this book takes the reader from the microscopic machinery inside a single cell to the sweeping implications for organisms, ecosystems, and medicine. Chapters cover Lysosomal Function and Homeostasis: From Cellular Adaptation to Disease Pathogenesis, Autophagy Meets Plant Virology: From Molecular Crosstalk to Outstanding Challenges, Impact of mitophagy on obesity-affected tissues, Autophagy in Endothelial Cells: a gatekeeper of immune cell trafficking and function, and much more.Additional sections cover Viral Trafficking: The Role of Autophagy in the Release of Virus-Loaded Extracellular Vesicles and Sex matters in macroautophagy: sex-driven differences in autophagic function in aging and aging related-diseases.
- Covers Macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy
- Explores Mitophagy, ER-phagy, pexophagy, aggrephagy, xenophagy, proteaphagy
