Autophagy is a cellular degradation process for the recycling of damaged or superfluous intracellular compartments to provide an alternative energy source during periods of metabolic stress for maintaining cell homeostasis and viability. Although autophagy in different contexts have been shown to use similar signaling pathways, the exact molecular regulation of autophagy has been found to be cell-type dependent.
