Intrinsic Autophagy Is Required for the Maintenance of Intestinal Stem Cells and for Irradiation-Induced Intestinal Regeneration

Summary: Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway with important roles in physiological homeostasis and disease. However, the role of autophagy in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) is unclear. Here, we show that intrinsic autophagy in ISCs is important for ISC homeostasis. Mice lacking autophagy prot...
