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: It is shown that efficient mitophagy depends on mitochondrial ER tethering and affects the formation of the isolation membrane that engulfs the organelles destined for degradation, providing insights into the cellular mechanisms that govern organelle homeostasis.

TL;DR: This review describes mitochondrial contacts with the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and peroxisomes and highlights how mitochondrial fission, distribution, inheritance, and turnover are orchestrated by interorganellar contacts in yeast and metazoa.

TL;DR: An unexpected but evolutionarily conserved role is reported for Arf1 and the ArfGEF GBF1 at mitochondria, involved in mitochondrial homeostasis and dynamics, independent of its role in vesicular traffic.
