Two Faces of Autophagy in the Struggle against Cancer
Autophagy can play a double role in cancerogenesis: it can either inhibit further development of the disease or protect cells, causing stimulation of tumour growth. This phenomenon is called “autophagy paradox”, and is characterised by the features that the autophagy process provides the necessary s...
