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: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: A novel type of autophagy is shown, in which RNA is taken up directly into lysosomes for degradation, which is ATP-dependent, and unlike CMA, is independent of HSPA8/Hsc70.

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA is also directly taken up by lysosomes and degraded, and this findings suggest that RNautophagy and DNautophagic are evolutionarily conserved systems in Metazoa.
