Autophagy - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016

What is Autophagy and why was it awarded the 2016 Nobel Price in Physiology or Medicine? Recycling makes it possible to reuse many valuable substances such as old electronics, fruit and vegetable waste, plastic, and paper. But our own cells have waste of their own. How does our built-in waste disposal system work? The experiments of this year’s Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine help provide some answers.

You omitted the main thing: Autophagy process starts after certain period of NON EATING or protein defficience. Therefore it is important to fast regularly for this process to hapen. Modern eating habits impede the process and food industry is not happy with this knowledge which will cut their profits.

The voice actor for this sounds just like Kurzgesagt

Thank You Sir for your invention. We follow fasting in Hinduism where we fast for every 15-days considered to be Sacred to be told maybe around 5000 years ago. Did not know that this would be very Thank you very much for your discovery....

Great video, as a Moslem we do autophagy by fasting from dawn pray until dusk pray. There are mandatory fasting and some opsional fasting. Alhamdulillah, thanks this video satisfied my curiosity.

Im fasting over 3 years 16/8 or 20/4 depends of the life situations but default is 16/8 where 16hrs im not eating and 8 hrs eating normally. Energy level up, stress down, Im 32 and my hair is growing meanwhile some folks losing hair at this age lol
also fat is low, and everything is waaay better. Short story if you need energy and healing boost/regrowth start fasting.
If you will be crying that you cant stand without eating 2hrs window then I can assure you that you can. Oh the starvation is gone as well. Since the starvation is basically a reflex that you train with a time you will feel few days mine was 3 that starvation came and left easier and easier until it was gone. Was expecting to hurt or something naaah it was just like odd feeling..cheers!

Autophagy process starts when or how??? not so good video it lacks of information

[vladstavarache]

This is useful and also frustrating to me that it doesn't talk about fasting or ketogenic diets, how does one benefit from this information?

[abhijitchakraborty]

our ancestors discovered 5000 year back and implemented the system of LUCK.

[nevildadrewalla]

Here are the key questions? How is autophagy to be induced in humans without using drugs? Can one fast to induce autophagy, if so for how long and how often? Do all cells become brand new after this process?

[joshualittle]

Great video! Was listening to a nutrition podcast on keto and the host was babbling on about "autophagy" and other biology related jargen. As a layman I couldn't make sense of it all. This vid put it all into perspective, thank you!

[MF-ltpq]

Description reads "Autophagy and why was it awarded the 2016 Nobel Price"...the nobel priCe. Ha ha very funny

[mrjdainsworth]

My question is does heightened autophagy by fasting or a ketogenic diet cure my 'Long Covid' faster. Only time will tell.

[jakubmikos]

Please help, I am translating this video in order to use it in my school presentation and I have big trouble with understanding few words in the sentence starting at 0:40 : cells viruses.. Anyone?

[mRzTTeel]

[DrMag-fnhc]

You forgot to mention the most important thing about autophagy... FASTING!

[ahaikepo]

CAN AUTOPHAGY reduce plague on coronary artery?

[VladimirCudrnak]

Awesome. Paul knows why he needs it but has no clue as how to induce it or benefit from it (fasting periods etc.).
