MINNEAPOLIS, April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Techne, a family of brands providing a unique portfolio of products and services for basic and clinical research, has a leading role supporting autophagy research.
Autophagy (or "self-eating") is an important basic cellular process by which cell components are degraded by lysosomes or vacuoles and recycled. Autophagy plays a crucial role in human health and disease. Disrupted autophagy has been implicated in Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and is now a major target for drug discovery and development.
