TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The study of the role of miR-17 in regulating ATG7 expression and autophagy reveals a novel function for this miRNA sequence in a critical cellular event with significant impacts in cancer development, progression and treatment.

TL;DR: A perspective view on future works for exploring the modulation of autophagic indices in tumor cells as a novel molecular‐based adjuvant strategy, in order to improve radiotherapy and chemotherapy effects in cancer patients is provided.

TL;DR: Results might enforce the concept that autophagy‐associated cell death might constitute a possible adjuvant therapeutic strategy to enhance the conventional GB treatment.
