Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the progressive loss of motor neurons, which ...

“The anti-aging MIRACLE.” “Strengthen your immune system.” “Lose weight fast.” These are some of the promises of autophagy, the silver bullet wellness influencers are saying is backed by Nobel-winning ...

Autophagy, which declines with age, may hold more mysteries than researchers previously suspected. Scientists have now uncovered possible novel functions for various autophagy genes, which may control ...

Researchers in Spain have found that chaperone-mediated autophagy, a selective protein cleanup process, is markedly reduced in the motor neurons of ALS patients. The deficiency may contribute to toxic ...

Myofibrillar myopathy type 6 (MFM6) is a rare genetic muscle disorder that leads to severe muscle weakness and a drastically shortened life expectancy due to a disruption in muscle protein regulation.

Researchers have reported major advances in understanding and treating ALS and Parkinson’s disease, with potential to reshape ...

A review led by Academician Yulong Yin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed new light on the intricate interplay between exosomes and autophagy—two ...

Findings show that impaired autophagy leads to muscle degeneration, inflammation, and mitochondrial defects, while ...

Autophagy has been shown to be a key player in preventing aging and diseases of aging, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Notably, research has shown that ...
