Profile: Joseph Burgoyne is a British Heart Foundation Intermediate Fellow and Associate Lecturer at King’s College London. His research interests include the identification and study of novel redox and autophagic processes within the cardiovascular system.
Abstract: Autophagy is a crucial process in maintaining cellular and tissue function through its ability to remove damaged and dysfunctional proteins and organelles, providing a source of fuel during energy deprivation and removing intracellular pathogens. During aging there is a decline in autophagy that predisposes individuals to increased risk of cardiovascular and neurological disease. Here we have identified a novel process that may explain in part how this catabolic process is lost during aging, due to elevated oxidant formation and oxidation of key autophagy enzymes.
