Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that delivers cytoplasmic components to the lysosome. Despite its apparent simplicity, recent research has revealed that it plays a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological roles, many of which are highly complex. The process of autophagy occurs through several sequential steps-sequestration, transport to lysosomes, degradation, and utilization of degradation products-with each step potentially fulfilling distinct functions. In cancer progression, metastasis represents an especially complex process. Autophagy exerts stage-specific...

The prevalence of Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic and life-threatening inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is steadily increasing worldwide. A shift to personalized medicine is required because CD is a very heterogeneous disease that poses ongoing challenges in prognosis and treatment selection. The crucial and quickly developing field of disease prognosis receives a significant amount of attention. In addition to examining markers for predicting disease course and the growing potential of proteomics for forecasting disease activity and treatment response, the book goes beyond conventional...
