– The latest news from European Autophagy Network/Transautophagy
Autophagy, which literally means « self-eating », is involved in the removal and recycling of cellular waste. Malfunction of autophagy has been linked to a wide range of human diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Crohn’s diseases, cancers, myopathies, cardiovascular disorders, as well as autoimmune and infectious diseases.
CFATG has at heart to promote, to strengthen and to share the knowledge in the field of Autophagy.
