Baculovirus infection triggers a shift from amino acid starvation-induced autophagy to apoptosis.

Autophagy plays a central role in regulating important cellular functions such as cell survival during starvation and control of infectious pathogens. On the other hand, many pathogens have evolved mechanisms of inhibition of autophagy such as blockage of the formation of autophagosomes or the fusio...
