Autophagy: A Multipotentialite

1 Comment / Biology, Covid-19 / By

Tanvi Yalamanchili Abstract Autophagy is an important cellular process involved in cellular health and disease. This review addresses the major mechanisms of autophagy and explores how this process contributes to numerous human diseases. Research suggests that infection by SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes the novel human coronavirus disease COVID-19, may be mediated by autophagy. This …
