Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents. One
gaining in appreciation is autophagy, which involves specialized vesicles engulfing and …

Autophagy is a highly conserved process that degrades cellular long-lived proteins and
organelles. Accumulating evidence indicates that autophagy plays a critical role in kidney …

Natural compounds derived from plant sources are well characterized as possessing a wide
variety of remarkable anti‐tumour properties, for example modulating programmed cell …

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the exocrine pancreas that carries
considerable morbidity and mortality; its pathophysiology remains poorly understood …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular process for the vacuolar degradation
of cytoplasmic components. There is no doubt that autophagy is very important to plant life …

An increasing number of studies demonstrate that autophagy, an intrinsic mechanism that
can degrade cytoplasmic components, is involved in the infection processes of a variety of …

Autophagy has been implicated in a number of physiological processes important for human
