Definition of autophagy in English:

autophagy

noun ɔːˈtɒfədʒiôˈtäfəjē

mass nounBiology

1Consumption of the body’s own tissue as a metabolic process occurring in starvation and certain diseases.
the process of starvation-induced autophagy was recently the focus of extensive research
Example sentencesExamples
- While many scientists are trying to prevent the onset of a cancer defense mechanism known as autophagy, other researchers are leveraging it in a new therapy.
- "We know that autophagy and neurodegeneration are connected, so pinpointing this protein is important to our understanding of the disease process."
- In many infections, autophagy also helps digest pathogens and clear them away.
- "Autophagy is a survival mechanism to ensure that the cell is able to obtain the necessary nutrients during times of starvation," explains Schmitz.
- We aim to recruit a post-doctoral scientist to work on a research programme on autophagy and neurodegeneration using in vivo approaches in mice.
1. 1.1 Destruction of damaged or redundant cellular components occurring in vacuoles within the cell.
  Example sentencesExamples
  One of these proteins, which participate both in autophagy and cytoplasm-to-vacuole transport, is the Atg8 protein.
  Moussa, who has long sought a way to force neurons to clean up their garbage, came up with the idea of using cancer drugs that push autophagy in tumors to help diseased brains.
  It controls a number of metabolic processes important for cell growth, including nutrient import, transcription, and autophagy.
  A primary pathway for the uptake of mitochondrial sequences by the nucleus may be provided by autophagy of mitochondria in cellular vacuoles (lysosomes).
  Autophagy of entire chloroplasts during leaf senescence would cause a continuous decrease in the number of plastids per mesophyll cell.

Derivatives

autophagous

adjective ɔːˈtɒfəɡəs

Biology

Guan and colleagues say it inhibits some non-autophagy enzymes, but activates autophagous ones.
Example sentencesExamples
- Plants are apparently autophagous all day long.
- Note the fragments within the chloroplast and the autophagous vacuoles containing dark material.
- He helped highlight the importance of autophagous processes in embryo development through mouse models.
- These cells contained many lysosomal and autophagous bodies and damaged mitochondria.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from auto-¹ + -phagy.
