The tumor suppressor LKB1 regulates starvation-induced autophagy under systemic metabolic stress

Abstract Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that degrades cellular components to restore energy homeostasis under limited nutrient conditions. How this starvation-induced autophagy is regulated at the whole-body level is not fully understood. Here, we show that the tumor suppressor Lkb...
