Non-Canonical Autophagy : Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Implications

Non-canonical Autophagy: Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Implications outlines the differences between'canonical'and'non-canonical'forms of autophagy, highlighting the discoveries concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying these unconventional forms of autophagy and the advancements in pathophysiological features of'non-canonical'autophagy. The book discusses all forms of'non-canonical'autophagy and the complexity of autophagy-dependent cell death. Readers will gain a better understanding of mechanisms underlying'non-canonical'autophagy so that they can interpret the biological effects of autophagy correctly and identify reliable, novel and effective treatment strategies. - Presents the most advanced information surrounding the molecular mechanisms underlying non-canonical autophagy - Outlines the increasing evidence regarding the involvement of non-canonical autophagy in multiple physiological and pathological processes - Discusses the therapeutic potential of autophagy modulators and the obstacles that have limited their development
