Squalene-Based Nano-Assemblies Improve the Pro-Autophagic Activity of Trehalose

The disaccharide trehalose is a well-established autophagy inducer, but its therapeutic application is severely hampered by its low potency and poor pharmacokinetic profile. Thus, we targeted the rational design and synthesis of trehalose-based small molecules and nano objects to overcome such issue...
