Description
Non-canonical Autophagy: Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Implications outlines the differences between ‘canonical’ and ‘non-canonical’ forms of autophagy, highlighting the discoveries concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying these unconventional forms of autophagy and the advancements in pathophysiological features of ‘non-canonical’ autophagy. The book discusses all forms of ‘non-canonical’ autophagy and the complexity of autophagy-dependent cell death. Readers will gain a better understanding of mechanisms underlying ‘non-canonical’ autophagy so that they can interpret the biological effects of autophagy correctly and identify reliable, novel and effective treatment strategies.
Key Features
- Presents the most advanced information surrounding the molecular mechanisms underlying non-canonical autophagy
- Outlines the increasing evidence regarding the involvement of non-canonical autophagy in multiple physiological and pathological processes
- Discusses the therapeutic potential of autophagy modulators and the obstacles that have limited their development
Readership
