Identification of Autophagy-Related Gene 7 and Autophagic Cell Death in the Planarian Dugesia japonica

Planarians undergo continuous body size remodeling under starvation or during regeneration. This process likely involves autophagy and autophagic cell death, but this hypothesis is supported by few studies. To test this hypothesis, we cloned and characterized autophagy-related gene 7 (Atg7) from the...
