Ubiquitin and Autophagy
This book is a collection of articles from the Cells Special Issue on “Ubiquitin and Autophagy”. It contains an Editorial and 13 articles at the intersection of ubiquitin- and autophagy-related processes. Ubiquitin is a small protein modifier that is widely used to tag proteins, organelles, and pathogens for their degradation by the ubiquitin–proteasome system and/or autophagy–lysosomal pathway. Interestingly, several ubiquitin-like proteins are at a core of the autophagy mechanism. This book dedicates a lot of attention to the crosstalk between the ubiquitin–proteasome system and autophagy and serves as a good starting point for the readers interested in the current state of the knowledge on ubiquitin and autophagy.
Autophagy
Autophagy, the evolutionarily conserved lysosome-based degradation system, has been the topic of intensive investigation for the past two decades. The recent explosion of interest can be explained in part by the emerging role of autophagy in pathogenesis and progression of major human diseases, such as neurodegeneration, infection diseases, and cancer. One of the key aspects of autophagy, which is of great importance for the disease-related roles of autophagy and yet remains frequently overlooked, is its remarkable selectivity. Aggregated proteins, damaged mitochondria, superfluous peroxisomes, or invading bacteria are specifically recognized and targeted to the lysosome for destruction by s...
Autophagy: Cancer, Other Pathologies, Inflammation, Immunity, Infection, and Aging
Autophagy: Cancer, Other Pathologies, Inflammation, Immunity, Infection, and Aging is a complete, authoritative examination of the role of autophagy in health and disease. Understanding this phenomenon is vital for the studies of cancer, aging, neurodegeneration, immunology, and infectious diseases. Comprehensive and forward thinking, this four-volume work offers a valuable guide to cellular processes while encouraging researchers to explore their potentially important connections. Understanding the role of autophagy is critical, considering its association with numerous biological processes, including cellular development and differentiation, cancer (both antitumor and protumor functions), ...

Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia: Molecular, Cellular, and Nutritional Aspects describes the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, defined by Rosenberg in 1997 as a hallmark of aging and referred to as “sarcopenia.” As life expectancy continues to increase worldwide, sarcopenia has become a major public health issue. The condition worsens in the presence of chronic diseases accelerating its progression. Sarcopenia is not considered to be “a process of normative aging” but according to the International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), as a disease. As sarcopenia is an ineluctable process, prevention and management are the only options to promot...
