Autophagy in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy (cellular self-eating) is a highly regulated, lysosome-mediated catabolic process of eukaryotic cells to segregate by a special membrane and subsequently degrade their own constituents during development or starvation. Electron microscopy analysis reveals autophagic elements in various cell types of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, whose genome contains counterparts of several yeast genes involved...
