Description

Autophagy in Health and Disease, Volume 175, presents the latest insights from renowned experts in the field who discuss the key role of autophagic responses in the preservation of cellular and organismal homeostasis and how defects in the molecular apparatus for autophagy drive or accompany disease. Specific chapters in this new release include Crosstalk between autophagy and cell death signaling: mechanisms and therapeutic relevance, C. elegans to model autophagy-related human disorders, Autophagy in Kidney Disease: advances and therapeutic potential, Autophagy in Chronic Lung Disease, Autophagy in motoneuronal disorders, Strategies employed by viruses to manipulate autophagy, and much more.

Key Features

  • Provides an outstanding panel of recognized experts in the field who discuss the latest in autophagy
  • Includes critical discussions of autophagy in the context of each major human disorder
  • Models autophagy-related human pathologies in lower eukaryotes

Readership

Equally addressed to expert researchers who may want to extend their technical portfolio, and to beginners in this exciting and rapidly growing field of investigation

Aitziber Buque

Aitziber Buqué (born 1980) is currently Post-Doctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Lorenzo Galluzzi with the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Weill Cornell Medical College (New York, NY, USA). Prior to joining the Galluzzi lab (2018), Aitziber Buqué was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Research Team “Apoptosis, Cancer and Immunity” at the Cordeliers Research Center (Paris, France; 2014-2018), under the direction of Dr. Guido Kroemer, after receiving her PhD from the University of the Basque Country (Leioa, Spain; 2013). Aitziber Buqué is interested in the molecular, cellular and immunological mechanisms whereby breast cancer evades immunosurveillance and resists to immunotherapy, and she is the author of more than 30 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals.
