Autophagy: More Than a Nonselective Pathway by Fulvio Reggiori, Masaaki Komatsu, Kim Finley, Anne Simonsen

“…Autophagy is a catabolic pathway conserved among eukaryotes that allows cells to rapidly eliminate large unwanted structures such as aberrant protein aggregates, superfluous or damaged organelles, and invading pathogens. The hallmark of this transport pathway is the sequestration of the cargoes that have to be degraded in the lysosomes by double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes. …”
