Intermittent fasting helps tackle injuries, inflammation and recovery hurdles through autophagy and lower inflammation – real ...

A research team has discovered a novel mechanism essential for initiating autophagy. The study highlights the role of ZDHHC13, an enzyme that palmitoylates ULK1, in triggering autophagy. This ...

An international research team led by Osaka University has identified a new mechanism crucial for the initiation of autophagy, a self-degradation process cells use to eliminate unneeded or damaged ...

Certain biological buzzwords spring out of relative scientific obscurity and lodge themselves in the popular consciousness — phrases like serotonin, ketosis, or probiotic. In some corners of the ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

Most diets focus on what you eat, but intermittent fasting is centred around when you eat.

Upon autophagy induction, ZDHHC13 is recruited to autophagosome formation sites together with ATG9A. ULK1 is palmitoylated at Cys 927 and Cys 1003 residues by ZDHHC13, and the ULK1 complex are ...
