Autophagy: Shrinking through cilia-induced self-eating

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 17, 396 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.85 Author: Paulina Strzyz Epithelial cells of the kidney proximal tubules, which reabsorb water and nutrients from the forming urine, shrink in response to fluid flow through mechanisms that involve mechanosensing by primary cilia. Orhon et al. demonstrated that the application of fluid flow induced autophagy in cultured
