Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipofuscin: mechanisms of age-related accumulation and influence on cell function

TL;DR: The accumulation of lipofuscin within postmitotic cells is a recognized hallmark of aging occuring with a rate inversely related to longevity as mentioned in this paper, whereas proliferative cells efficiently dilute it during division.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy and Aging The Importance of Maintaining "Clean" Cells

TL;DR: This work reviews the molecular defects responsible for the malfunctioning of two forms of autophagy - macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophage - in old mammals, and highlights general and cell-type specific consequences of dysfunction of the autophagic system with age.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial-lysosomal axis theory of aging: accumulation of damaged mitochondria as a result of imperfect autophagocytosis.

TL;DR: Advanced lipofuscin accumulation may greatly diminish lysosomal degradative capacity by preventing lysOSomal enzymes from targeting to functional autophagosomes, further limiting mitochondrial recycling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial Turnover and Aging of Long-Lived Postmitotic Cells: The Mitochondrial–Lysosomal Axis Theory of Aging

TL;DR: In this review, the importance of crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes in aging is stressed and the slow accumulation of lipofuscin within lysOSomes seems to depress autophagy, resulting in reduced turnover of effective mitochondria.
