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: Genetic interaction studies showed that ecdysone signaling downregulates PI3K signaling and that this represents the effector mechanism for induction of programmed autophagy, and these studies link hormonal induction ofAutophagy to the regulatory function of the PI3k signaling pathway in vivo.

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.
