Autophagy, a self-degradative process vital for cellular homeostasis, plays a significant role
in adipose tissue metabolism and tumorigenesis. This review aims to elucidate the complex …

A number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, share intra-and/or extracellular deposition of …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) operate as key regulators of cellular homeostasis within a
physiological range of concentrations, yet they turn into cytotoxic entities when their levels …

Zinc is an essential element for all forms of life, and one in every ten human proteins is a
