METHODS FOR TREATING AUTOPHAGY-RELATED DISORDERS

摘要

Methods for treating autophagy-related disorders with agents which modulate expression of the gene encoding tyrosine phosphatase receptor type sigma (PTPRS) or which modulate the biological activity of the PTPRS gene product (PTPsigma). Methods for modulating autophagy in a cell with agents which modulate expression of PTPRS or which modulate the biological activity of PTPsigma; and related diagnostic methods, screening methods, and agents.
