Autophagic pathways cross with lipid homeostasis and thus provide energy and essential
building blocks that are indispensable for liver functions. Energy deficiencies are …

BACKGROUND Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process of degrading and recycling
proteins and organelles to modulate various physiological and pathological events …

Reproduction is characterized by a series of massive renovations at molecular, cellular, and
tissue levels. Recent studies have strongly tended to reveal the involvement of basic …

Low oxygen availability, a condition known as hypoxia, is a common feature of various
pathologies including stroke, ischemic heart disease, and cancer. Hypoxia adaptation …

The fundamental framework of steroidogenesis is similar across steroidogenic cells,
especially in initial mitochondrial steps. For instance, the START domain containing protein …

Organs and cells must adapt to shear stress induced by biological fluids, but how fluid flow
contributes to the execution of specific cell programs is poorly understood. Here we show …

Simple Summary Autophagy is a self-eating mechanism that is involved in the degradation
of organelles and cellular materials. It is initiated by intracellular and extracellular stress …

Male reproductive functions, which include testicular steroidogenesis, spermatogenesis, and
sexual/erectile functions are key in male fertility, but may be adversely altered by several …

Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved cell reprogramming mechanism, exists in all
eukaryotic organisms. It is a fundamental and vital degradation/recycling pathway that …

Autophagy is a fundamental process that exists in all eukaryotic organisms, with a primary
function of catabolizing undesirable components to provide energy and essential materials …
