01
Overview
The autophagy pathway is a highly conserved cellular process responsible for degrading and recycling unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components through lysosome-dependent mechanisms. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, especially under stress conditions. The pathway involves several key stages: initiation, nucleation, expansion & cargo sequestration, maturation & fusion, and degradation & recycling. Dysregulation of autophagy is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases, making it a potential therapeutic target.
