Abstract

Autophagy, a cellular degradation process, is fundamental for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to stress. Its dysregulation is associated with various diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and infections. This review delves into the molecular mechanisms of autophagy, emphasizing its dual role in cell survival and death. By understanding these pathways, researchers can develop targeted therapies to modulate autophagy in disease treatment and prevention.
