Non-canonical Autophagy: Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Implications outlines the differences between ''canonical'' and ''non-canonical'' forms of autophagy, highlighting the discoveries concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying these unconventional forms of autophagy and the advancements in pathophysiological features of ''non-canonical'' autophagy. The book discusses all forms of ''non-canonical'' autophagy and the complexity of autophagy-dependent cell death. Readers will gain a better understanding of mechanisms underlying ''non-canonical'' autophagy so that they can interpret the biological effects of autophagy correctly and identify reliable, novel and effective treatment strategies.- Presents the most advanced information surrounding the molecular mechanisms underlying non-canonical autophagy- Outlines the increasing evidence regarding the involvement of non-canonical autophagy in multiple physiological and pathological processes- Discusses the therapeutic potential of autophagy modulators and the obstacles that have limited their development
