Autophagy and microtubules – new story, old players

Abstract excerpt

Both at a basal level and after induction (especially in response to nutrient starvation), the function of autophagy is to allow cells to degrade and recycle damaged organelles, proteins and other biological constituents. Here, we focus on the role microtubules have in autophagosome formation, autophagosome transport across the cytoplasm and in the formation of autolysosomes. Recent insights into the exact...
