Chaperone-mediated autophagy sustains haematopoietic stem-cell function

S Dong, Q Wang, YR Kao, A Diaz, I Tasset, S Kaushik… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The activation of mostly quiescent haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is a prerequisite for life-
long production of blood cells. This process requires major molecular adaptations to allow …

Autophagy maintains the metabolism and function of young and old stem cells

TT Ho, MR Warr, ER Adelman, OM Lansinger, J Flach… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
With age, haematopoietic stem cells lose their ability to regenerate the blood system, and
promote disease development. Autophagy is associated with health and longevity, and is …

FOXO3A directs a protective autophagy program in haematopoietic stem cells

MR Warr, M Binnewies, J Flach, D Reynaud, T Garg… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com

Restoration of chaperone-mediated autophagy in aging liver improves cellular maintenance and hepatic function

C Zhang, AM Cuervo - Nature medicine, 2008 - nature.com

cytosolic proteins in lysosomes, contributes to the removal of altered proteins as part of the …

Replication stress is a potent driver of functional decline in ageing haematopoietic stem cells

J Flach, ST Bakker, M Mohrin, PC Conroy, EM Pietras… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) self-renew for life, thereby making them one of the few
blood cells that truly age,. Paradoxically, although HSCs numerically expand with age, their …

Restraining lysosomal activity preserves hematopoietic stem cell quiescence and potency

R Liang, T Arif, S Kalmykova, A Kasianov, M Lin… - Cell stem cell, 2020 - cell.com
Quiescence is a fundamental property that maintains hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) potency
throughout life. Quiescent HSCs are thought to rely on glycolysis for their energy, but the …

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

N Vannini, M Girotra, O Naveiras, G Nikitin… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on
anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy …

Analysis of chaperone-mediated autophagy

YR Juste, AM Cuervo - Autophagy: Methods and Protocols, 2019 - Springer
Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective type of autophagy whereby a specific
subset of intracellular proteins is targeted to the lysosome for degradation. These proteins …

Autophagy maintains stemness by preventing senescence

L García-Prat, M Martínez-Vicente, E Perdiguero… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
During ageing, muscle stem-cell regenerative function declines. At advanced geriatric age,
this decline is maximal owing to transition from a normal quiescence into an irreversible …
