Autophagy is a process that targets various intracellular elements for degradation.
Autophagy can be non-selective—associated with the indiscriminate engulfment of cytosolic …

Selective autophagy relies on soluble or membrane-bound cargo receptors that recognize
cargo and bring about autophagosome formation at the cargo. The cargo-bound receptors …

Autophagy is fundamental for cell and organismal health. Two types of autophagy are
conserved in eukaryotes: macroautophagy and microautophagy. During macroautophagy …

The autophagic pathway involves the encapsulation of substrates in double-membraned
vesicles, which are subsequently delivered to the lysosome for enzymatic degradation and …

The clearance of surplus, broken, or dangerous components is key for maintaining cellular
homeostasis. The failure to remove protein aggregates, damaged organelles, or intracellular …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Autophagic pathways cross with lipid homeostasis and thus provide energy and essential
building blocks that are indispensable for liver functions. Energy deficiencies are …

Autophagy is a vital lysosomal degradation pathway that serves as a quality control
mechanism. It rids the cell of damaged, toxic or excess cellular components, which if left to …

Macroautophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that delivers diverse cellular
contents to lysosomes for degradation. As our understanding of this pathway grows, so does …

ER-phagy (reticulophagy) defines the degradation of portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) within lysosomes or vacuoles. It is part of the self-digestion (ie, autophagic) programs …
