TL;DR: The authors would like to thank Drs.W.K. van der Klei, Beth Levine, Fulvio Reggiori, and Takahiro Shintani for helpful comments on the manuscript, and the many researchers in the yeast field who have agreed to changes in the standard names of various genes.

TL;DR: An overview of the molecular mechanism involved in three major autophagy pathways: chaperone mediated Autophagy, microautophagy and macroautophagic is presented and examples are presented of lysosomal storage diseases and the role of autophagic in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, defense against pathogens and cell death.

TL;DR: The ability to isolate both quiescent and nonquiescent yeast cells from SP cultures provides a novel, tractable experimental system for studies of quiescence, chronological and replicative aging, apoptosis, and the cell cycle.

TL;DR: Transcriptional profiling of H. polymorpha cells shifted from glucose to meethanol showed the expected downregulation of glycolytic genes together with upregulation of the methanol utilisation pathway, which may be responsible for the enhanced peroxisomal ?

TL;DR: This work has found that upon glucose- or ethanol-induced catabolite inactivation of metabolically superfluous peroxisomes are rapidly and selectively degraded within the vacuole by a process called pexophagy, the selective removal of per oxisomes by autophagy-like processes.
