• An autophagy-independent function for Beclin 1 in cancer

      Rohatgi, Rasika; Shaw, Leslie M. (2016-01-02)
      The involvement of Beclin 1 in cancer has been attributed primarily to its role in autophagy initiation. Our recent findings identify a novel, alternative mechanism by which Beclin 1 can impact tumor progression, through the regulation of growth factor receptor signaling.
