New research from the lab of MCB Assistant Adjunct Professor Jacob Corn identified that autophagic degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER-phagy, in human cells is regulated by ER-remodeling proteins known as Atlastins.
MCB Postdoc Amos Liang is first author of the research, which was published in Journal of Cell Biology.
