Role of mitochondrial inner membrane permeabilization in necrotic cell death, apoptosis, and autophagy. Clark's work figures the sacred boundary (we used to call it "taboo") represented by anthropophagy (it seems, in fact, that man is the only species to ritualize autophagy, and it would be difficult to understand all the determinations of human sexuality without reference to this boundary, as well as to the "prohibition" of incest - which as we know only exists through its transgression). Autophagy," the process by which cells cannibalize some of their internal organelles for re-use when faced with an inadequate supply of nutrients, is a quarterly journal that is designed to serve as a forum for the exchange of information on the range of autophagic developments, including specific degradation, the molecular mechanism of autophagy, signaling and regulation, the role of autophagy in diseases including cancer, its connection with aging, and the immune response. |
