EMBO conference; 'Autophagy in Health and Disease'.

Autophagy is a catabolic pathway that occurs at a basal level in most tissues, but can also be induced in response to a multitude of physiological and pathological situations. Recent studies have highlighted the capacity of this pathway to specifically el iminate unwanted structures as aberrant p...
