Funded Activity Summary

Autophagy and the nucleus. Autophagy is a degradation pathway that is essential for survival, internal change (differentiation and development) and maintenance of physiological equilibrium (homeostasis). Moreover autophagy serves to protect higher organisms against infections, cancer and neurodegeneration. This project seeks to better understand the mechanisim by which parts of the nucleus can be degraded by autophagy and how this relates to diseases which may involve defects in, or abnormal degradation of nuclear components. Benefit will accrue from a contribution to knowledge with future potential to impact on disease, as well as strengthening links with the international network working in the field of autophagy.
