TL;DR

This review challenges the common assumption that autophagy and proteases form a unified degradative pathway during plant reproduction, showing instead where they act independently, where they converge, and where true molecular coupling remains to be demonstrated, while defining key degradative checkpoints that shape fertility and reproductive resilience.

Targeting the secretory autophagy–extracellular vesicle interface: fate decisions and translational opportunities

Autophagy preserves cellular homeostasis through lysosomal degradation, but its machinery also participates in extracellular release. This creates a pharmacological problem: changing autophagy or extracellular vesicle (EV) output can alter intracellular disposal, inflammatory signaling and communication between cells i...

Lysosomal function and homeostasis: From cellular adaptation to disease pathogenesis.

The molecular basis of lysosomal damage responses, including ATG8ylation, is systematically outlined, and how these networks are implicated in a broad spectrum of pathological conditions such as aging, neurodegeneration, cancer, obesity-related disorders, and immune dysfunction is explored.

Evolutionarily conserved selective autophagy pathways.

This review provides a detailed overview of seven major evolutionarily conserved selective autophagy pathways: mitophagy, xenophagy, pexophagy, lysophagy, ER-phagy, Golgiphagy, and ribophagy, building on data from four widely used model organisms.
