{"product_id":"autophagy-daniel-klionsky-9780123745484","title":"Autophagy: Lower Eukaryotes and Non-Mammalian Systems, Part a: Volume 451","description":"This is the companion volume to Daniel Klionsky's \u003ci\u003eAutophagy: Lower Eukaryotes\u003c\/i\u003e, which features the basic methods in autophagy covering yeasts and alternative fungi. Klionsky is one of the leading authorities in the field. He is the editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eAutophagy\u003c\/i\u003e. The November 2007 issue of \u003ci\u003eNature Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e highlighted his article, \"Autophagy: from phenomenology to molecular understanding in less than a decade.\" He is currently editing guidelines for the field, with 230 contributing authors that will publish in \u003ci\u003eAutophagy\u003c\/i\u003e.Particularly in times of stress, like starvation and disease, higher organisms have an internal mechanism in their cells for chewing up and recycling parts of themselves. The process of internal \"house-cleaning\" in the cell is called autophagy - literally self-eating. Breakthroughs in understanding the molecular basis of autophagy came after the cloning of ATG1 in yeast. These ATG genes in yeast were the stepping stones to the explosion of research into the molecular analysis of autophagy in higher eukaryotes. In the future, this research will help to design clinical approaches that can turn on autophagy and halt tumor growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Klionsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123745489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123745484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.80d","brand":"Daniel Klionsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112818716927,"sku":"9780123745484","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee10e8ff-7780-4d12-acec-b21b3ea153c9.jpg?v=1769611153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autophagy-daniel-klionsky-9780123745484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
