Autophagosomes

PBK-Loaded secretory autophagosomes drive radiotherapy-induced systemic adipose depletion via MAPK/ERK-PRKA/PKA-LIPE/HSL signaling: a therapeutic target for esophageal cancer cachexia.

Radiotherapy, while a cornerstone treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), is paradoxically associated with significant weight loss that portends poor patient outcomes. The mechanisms driving this metabolic complication remain elusive. Here, we identified adipose depletion - rather than muscle...

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial and Autophagic Dysregulation Are Modifiable in Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a health- and life-limiting neuromuscular disorder. Although varying degrees of mitochondrial abnormalities have been documented in SMA skeletal muscle, the influence of disease progression on pathways that govern organelle turnover and dynamics are poorly understood....
