Autophagy meetings
CFATG12 - Saint Jean Cap Ferrat
The 12th Scientific Days of the Club Francophone de l'Autophagie (CFATG) will be held in March 2025 in St Jean Cap Ferrat.
02/05/2024 au 02/05/2024 - Visio & IRCM, Montpellier
[Visio] Discover Professor Noboru Mizushima’s Seminar on Intracellular Degradation and Quality Control by Autophagy
During this seminar, Professor Noboru Mizushima will summarize the current state of research on autophagy, including methodology, and will discuss some recent topics such as autophagosome-lysosome fusion, selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy, and the reversibility of cellular dysfunctions caused by defects in autophagy.
16/06/2024 au 21/06/2024 - Andover, NH, United States
Gordon Research Conference: Mechanisms, Molecules and Therapeutic Opportunities Across the Endolysosomal Pathway
22/07/2024 au 09/08/2024 - Campus Aarhus, Denmark
Summer course for Master and PhD students: Autophagy in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and immunity
The course focuses on understanding the contribution of autophagy, a highly relevant cellular and organismal process, to physiology and the medical consequences of its impairment. In this context, understanding the mechanism and functions of this pathway is key to untangle the pathogenesis of the autophagy- associated diseases.
Toolbox
You will find here various informations, such as articles or videos, on autophagy, its physiopathological functions as well as methodological approaches.
Return from a CFATG-sponsored conference: Aurore Claude-Taupin
Thanks to support from CFATG, a post-doctoral member of the association was able to take part in the "Keystone: Autophagy and Disease" conference, held from December 3 to 6 in Keystone (Colorado, USA). Find out more about her experience below!
Endosomal dynamics upon autophagy induction.
This video by J. Da Graca presents the dynamics of early endosomes in response to nutritional stress.
How long does it take to activate autophagy ?
In this short video, Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo, co-director of the A. Einstein Institute (Bronx, NY) for Research on Aging, explains that the time required to activate autophagy is different depending on the type of autophagy.

The AMPK-Sirtuin 1-YAP axis is regulated by fluid flow intensity and controls autophagy flux in kidney epithelial cells
Urinary flow is detected by kidney cells, but its intensity is deregulated in chronic kidney disease. This study demonstrates the importance of YAP inhibition by physiological flow in activating autophagic flow. However, pathological flow leads to activation of YAP, which inhibits autophagy. Deregulation of the YAP/autophagy signaling pathway could be a key factor in the progression of chronic kidney disease.
Autophagy controls resource allocation and protein storage accumulation in Arabidopsis seed
These results indicate that autophagy would not simply be a degradation process but would play un role in precursor maturation of the storage protein.
The autophagic proteins GABARAP/LGG-1 and LC3/LGG-2 possess specific functions in the exposure of phosphatidylserine and the degradation of apoptotic cells.
This paper shows the role of autophagy in apoptosis in C Elegans.
