Protective role of autophagy in neonatal hypoxia–ischemia induced brain injury

Autophagy, an intracellular bulk degradation process of cellular constituents, plays a key role in cell homeostasis and can be induced by stresses, such as nutrient depletion, closed head injury or focal cerebral ischemia. This study focuses on the role of autophagy in neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI)...
