Special Issue on Molecular mechanisms of autophagy in mammals
The growing importance of autophagy is clearly demonstrated by the exponentially increasing number of publications in this area. Although autophagy was initially classified as a form of cell death, it is now generally accepted that this is not the case.Autophagy mostly promotes cell health and survival and, only under peculiar conditions, can it result in cellular death. In the first issue of 2009, Cell Death and Differentiation published nine reviews on the topic of Autophagy in Aging, Disease and Death. These are now followed by six other papers covering more specific aspects on the complex regulation of this process
and its crosstalk with apoptosis and other essential cellular functions such as energy production, vesicular traffic and cellular
immunity.
