TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The potential role of mitochondrial function and redox balance in age-related eye diseases is outlined, and how the methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) protein repair system and other redox systems play key roles in the function and maintenance of the aging eye are detailed.

TL;DR: It is established that MsrA is present throughout the human lens, where it is likely to defend lens cells and their components against methionine oxidation, and evidence that MsRA is important for lens cell function in the absence of exogenous stress is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed genome-wide linkage analysis and fine mapping and identified linkage to 3p21-p22 with a summed LOD score of 33.42.
