    • Pathogenic role of BECN1/Beclin 1 in the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 
      Nassif, Melissa; Valenzuela, Vicente; Rojas Rivera, Diego; Vidal, René; Matus, Soledad; Castillo, Karen; Fuentealba, Yerko; Kroemer, Guido; Levine, Beth; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2014)
      Pharmacological activation of autophagy is becoming an attractive strategy to induce the selective degradation of aggregate-prone proteins. Recent evidence also suggests that autophagy impairment may underlie the pathogenesis ...
    • Targeting autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases 
      Vidal, René L.; Matus, Soledad; Bargsted, Leslie; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier Ltd, 2014)
      © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders involve protein misfolding and the aggregation of specific proteins. Autophagy is becoming an attractive target to treat neurodegenerative ...
    • Unsaturated fatty acids induce non-canonical autophagy 
      Niso Santano, Mireia; Malik, Shoaib; Pietrocola, Federico; Bravo San Pedro, José; Mariño, Guillermo; Cianfanelli, Valentina; Ben-Younès, Amena; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Markaki, Maria; Sica, Valentina; Izzo, Valentina; Chaba, Kariman; Bauvy, Chantal; Dupont, Nicolas; Kepp, Oliver; Rockenfeller, Patrick; Wolinski, Heimo; Madeo, Frank; Lavandero González, Sergio; Codogno, Patrice; Harper, Francis; Pierron, Gérard; Tavernarakis, Nektarios; Cecconi, Francesco; Maiuri, Maria Chiara; Galluzzi, Lorenzo; Kroemer, Guido (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
      To obtain mechanistic insights into the cross talk between lipolysis and autophagy, two key metabolic responses to starvation, we screened the autophagy-inducing potential of a panel of fatty acids in human cancer cells. ...
