    SPEAKER(S)

Prof. Eric Baehrecke - University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA

Eric Baehrecke is a Professor in the Cancer Biology Department at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Prior to this appointment he was an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute. He obtained his PhD from the University of Wisconsin, Madison where he studied polyembryonic development. Current research is focused on the relationship between autophagy, caspases and other degradation mechanisms in the survival and death of cells during normal and abnormal development.

Talk Online Publication: Oct 2007

TOPICS COVERED IN AUTOPHAGIC CELL DEATH

Morphological forms of cell death - Why is autophagy of interest to cell death researchers? - What is autophagy? - Discovery of autophagy genes - How is autophagy regulated? - Class I PI3K signalling and Class III PI3K signalling - Ubiquitin-like conjugation systems - Where has autophagic cell death been observed? - What are the possible roles of autophagy in dying cells? - Evidence in support of autophagy prolonging cell survival - Studies in flies and mammals suggest that both autophagy and caspases can be involved in cell death of the same cell - Evidence in support of autophagy promoting cell death - Inhibition of caspase-8 promotes autophagic cell death of L929 cells by autophagic degradation of catalase
