Publisher's Synopsis
Autophagy is an emerging biomedical paradigm. It affects all aspects of human health and disease conditions including aging, cancer, immunity and inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and other metabolic disorders, muscle trophy, and congenital myopathies. It is a fundamental biological process that has an impact on all eukaryotes and is one of the last key biological paradigms remaining to be fully understood.While most reviews focus specifically on individual topics, Autophagy provides a comprehensive review of the current knowledge of autophagy present in the world today. At the same time, the author elaborates on the impact of autophagy on different facets of its domain.
