This project investigates programmed cell death in plants and its implications for human health, particularly in cancer. By studying the Arabidopsis thaliana model, researchers aim to identify regulators of cell death and their potential roles in autophagy and oncogenesis, paving the way for new cancer treatments.
Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for plant and animal development. PCD is also invoked in pathological physiologies, as inappropriate PCD is implicated in human disease, while PCD is required for the plants innate immune response to pathogens.
One type of PCD, macroautophagy, is an intracellular degradation system for cytosolic components and organelles in eukaryotes.
The molecular mechanism of autophagy, although extensively studied using yeast during the past decade, remains to be eluc…
