Autophagy is activated by apoptotic signalling in sympathetic neurons: an alternative mechanism of death execution.
Autophagy is a mechanism whereby cells digest themselves from within and so may be used in lieu of apoptosis to execute cell death. Little is known about its role in neurons. In newly isolated sympathetic neurons, two independent apoptotic stimuli, NGF-deprivation or cytosine arabinoside added in th...
