Over the past several decades, research on autophagy, a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway, has been advanced by studies in different model organisms, especially in the field of its molecular mechanism and regulation. The malfunction of autophagy is linked to various diseases, among which cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are the major focus. In this review, we cover some other important diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, infectious and inflammatory diseases, and metabolic disorders, as well as rare diseases, with a hope of providing a more complete understanding of the spectrum of autophagy's role in human health.
在过去的几十年中,自噬(一种高度保守的溶酶体降解途径)的研究在不同的模式生物中得到了推进,特别是在其分子机制和调控方面。自噬的功能障碍与各种疾病有关,其中癌症和神经退行性疾病是主要关注点。在这篇综述中,我们涵盖了一些其他重要的疾病,包括心血管疾病、感染和炎症性疾病以及代谢紊乱,以及罕见疾病,希望能更全面地了解自噬在人类健康中的作用。
