Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is a lysosome-dependent catabolic process that results in the degradation and recycling of cellular components, such as lipids, proteins, and organelles. Autophagy can function in many cellular contexts, including during infection, stress, cell survival, and cell death. During the development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, multiple tissues undergo a...
