Eileen White, Chief Scientific Officer at the Rutgers Cancer Institute and a leading expert in autophagy, shares her groundbreaking insights on the role of autophagy in health and cancer. She discusses how autophagy can paradoxically help cancer cells survive, revealing new avenues for therapies. Eileen also examines the potential of fasting and specific molecules, like rapamycin and metformin, to enhance autophagy for longevity and disease prevention. The complexity of autophagy’s dual role in cancer growth and protection adds depth to the conversation.
