Robust autophagy/mitophagy persists during mitosis

Abstract excerpt

From microscopic observations of autophagosome content it has been argued that autophagy is shut down during mitosis to protect the relative short-lived organelles spindle and chromosomes from the process while they are contiguous with cytosol. However, without autophagy, buildup of dysfunctional mitochondria arising from the intense energy demands of mitosis potentially poses a hazard to accurate partition of...
