Autophagy as a target for hematological malignancy therapy
Autophagy is an essential metabolic pathway by which the intracellular unwanted materials are digested within lysosomes for cellular homeostasis. It provides energy and building blocks upon starvation or other stresses. Autophagy even contributes to cell death especially under apoptosis incompetent conditions depending on the cellular contexts. Dysfunction of autophagy involves in the initiation and progression of multiple diseases and their treatments. But its principles and clinical applications have not been fully elucidated yet.
