Details: Non-canonical Autophagy: Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Implications outlines the differences between ‘canonical’ and ‘non-canonical’ forms of autophagy, highlighting the discoveries concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying these unconventional forms of autophagy and the advancements in pathophysiological features of ‘non-canonical’ autophagy. The book discusses all forms of ‘non-canonical’ autophagy and the complexity of autophagy-dependent cell death. Readers will gain a better understanding of mechanisms underlying ‘non-canonical’ autophagy so that they can interpret the biological effects of autophagy correctly and identify reliable, novel and effective treatment strategies. Presents the most advanced information surrounding the molecular mechanisms underlying non-canonical autophagy Outlines the increasing evidence regarding the involvement of non-canonical autophagy in multiple physiological and pathological processes Discusses the therapeutic potential of autophagy modulators and the obstacles that have limited their development
