Autophagy plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis by preventing the accumulation of damaged organelles by disassembling unnecessary or dysfunctional cells and cellular components. Autophagy occurs at low levels in the cell under normal conditions and can be rapidly upregulated during times of starvation or stress.
ICT’s Autophagy Assay, Red enables researchers to detect and monitor the in vitro development of autophagy in living cells.
