Scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have identified a crucial protein complex, the exocyst complex, involved in the early stages of autophagy. Autophagy, a “self-eating” process, enables cells to degrade and recycle damaged organelles, proteins, and pathogens, maintaining cellular homeostasis. The discovery has important implications for understanding neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as cancer, where autophagy can act as both a tumor suppressor and a survival mechanism for tumor cells.
