Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased insulin sensitivity and obesity resistance in mice lacking the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B gene.

Mounib Elchebly, +13 more
- 05 Mar 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the mouse homolog of the gene encoding PTP-1B yielded healthy mice that, in the fed state, had blood glucose concentrations that were slightly lower and concentrations of circulating insulin that were one-half those of their PTP−1B+/+ littermates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attenuation of Leptin Action and Regulation of Obesity by Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B

Alan Cheng, +8 more
- 01 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that PTP1B negatively regulates leptin signaling, and provide one mechanism by which it may regulate obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose tissue reduction in mice lacking the translational inhibitor 4E-BP1

Kyoko Tsukiyama-Kohara, +13 more
- 01 Oct 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the eIF4E-binding proteins constitute a family of three polypeptides that reversibly repress cap-dependent translation by binding to eIF 4E, thus preventing the formation of the EIF4F complex.
