Autophagy and mitochondria in Pompe disease: Nothing is so new as what has long been forgotten
17 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy (often referred to as autophagy) is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular system by which macromolecules and organelles are delivered to lysosomes for degradation and recycling.

Constitutive, basal autophagy serves as a quality control...
