Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longevity pathways converge on autophagy genes to regulate life span in Caenorhabditis elegans.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mutational inactivation of autophagy genes, which are involved in the degradation of aberrant, damaged cytoplasmic constituents accumulating in all aging cells, accelerates the rate at which the tissues age in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and may act as a central regulatory mechanism of animal aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

C. elegans Screen Identifies Autophagy Genes Specific to Multicellular Organisms

TL;DR: This study establishes C. elegans as a multicellular genetic model to delineate the autophagy pathway and provides mechanistic insights into the metazoan-specific autophagic process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagosomal Syntaxin17-dependent lysosomal degradation maintains neuronal function in Drosophila

TL;DR: Lysosomal degradation and recycling of sequestered autophagosome content is crucial to maintain proper functioning of the fly nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seeing is believing: The impact of electron microscopy on autophagy research

TL;DR: The impact that electron microscopy has had on autophagy research since the discovery of this self-degradation process in the mid-1950s is summarized.
