Age-dependent loss of adipose Rubicon promotes metabolic disorders via excess autophagy
Autophagic activity declines with age in several tissues and is linked to aging-associated functional decline and pathologies. Here the authors show that Rubicon, a negative regulator of autophagy, decreases in adipocytes with age, and its loss leads to adipocyte dysfunction via excess autophagic de...
