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 (4th edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2983 more
- 08 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photosensitized Membrane Permeabilization Requires Contact-Dependent Reactions between Photosensitizer and Lipids.

Isabel O. L. Bacellar, +14 more
- 10 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: Processes depending on direct contact between photosensitizers and lipids were revealed to be essential for the progress of lipid oxidation and consequently for aldehyde formation, providing a molecular-level explanation of why membrane binding correlates so well with the cell-killing efficiency of photosenitizers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parallel damage in mitochondria and lysosomes is an efficient way to photoinduce cell death.

Waleska Kerllen Martins, +10 more
- 01 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the parallel damage in mitochondria and lysosomes activates and inhibits mitophagy, leading to a late and more efficient cell death, offering significant advantage (2 orders of magnitude) over photosensitizers that cause unspecific oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melanin Photosensitization and the Effect of Visible Light on Epithelial Cells

Orlando Chiarelli-Neto, +11 more
- 18 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that visible light can damage melanocytes through melanin photosensitization and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation, thus decreasing cell viability, increasing membrane permeability, and causing both DNA photo-oxidation and necro-apoptotic cell death.
