    Monitoring Autophagy in Muscle Stem Cells

    Autophagy is critical not only for the cell’s adaptive response to starvation but also for cellular homeostasis, by acting as quality-control machinery for cytoplasmic components. This basal autophagic activit...

    Autophagy maintains stemness by preventing senescence

    During ageing, muscle stem-cell regenerative function declines. At advanced geriatric age, this decline is maximal owing to transition from a normal quiescence into an irreversible senescence state. How satell...

    Methods for Mitochondria and Mitophagy Flux Analyses in Stem Cells of Resting and Regenerating Skeletal Muscle

    Mitochondria generate most of the cell’s supply of ATP as a source of energy. They are also implicated in the control of cell’s growth and death. Because of these critical functions, mitochondrial fitness is k...

    Autophagy maintains stemness by preventing senescence

    The regenerative properties of muscle stem cells decline with age as the stem cells enter an irreversible state of senescence; a study of mouse muscle stem cells reveals that entry into senescence is an autoph...

    Autophagic Pathways and Parkinson Disease

    Autophagy is responsible for the degradation and recycling of intracellular material including organelles, cytosolic proteins, and accumulated misfolded proteins. Increasing evidence implicates autophagy dysfu...
