Jean-Claude interest:
Autophagy is the process of “self-eating” by which cells respond to starvation and other stress by degrading cellular components into amino and fatty acids for synthesis of new proteins and ATP. Understanding the selective process of autophagy has been my main interest and focus of research. Despite studies involving the individual selective autophagy receptors and their interacting partners, nothing is really known about how these interactions are regulated, whether they proceed sequentially or simultaneously, or even whether common mechanisms operate amongst the different selective autophagy processes.
