Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) is a specific in vivo marker for autophagic vacuoles.

TLDR
It is demonstrated, after subcellular fractionation procedures, that MDC-labeled organelles contained the lysosomal enzymes acid phosphatase and the mature form of cathepsin D, and Membrane markers of rough endoplasmic reticulum (TRAM and sec61 beta), and for smooth endoplasmsic reticle (cytochrome P450) were not detected in the same fractions.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
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.

Autophagy is a defense mechanism inhibiting BCG and Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival in infected macrophages.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that autophagic pathways can overcome the trafficking block imposed by M. tuberculosis, which is a hormonally, developmentally, and immunologically regulated process, represents an underapp appreciated innate defense mechanism for control of intracellular pathogens.

α-Synuclein Is Degraded by Both Autophagy and the Proteasome *

TL;DR: It was found that not only is α-synuclein degraded by the proteasome, but it is also degraded by autophagy, which merits consideration as a potential therapeutic for Parkinsons disease, as it is designed for chronic use in humans.
