Spinal cord injury induces upregulation of Beclin 1 and promotes autophagic cell death
Autophagy is a degradation of the cytoplasm and it induces autophagic cell death in several neurodegenerative conditions. Beclin 1, a Bcl-2-interacting protein, is known to be a promoter of autophagy. We investigated the alterations in the Beclin 1 protein expression and the involvement of autophagy...
