Macroautophagy is a critical intracellular bulk degradation system active at basal rates in eukaryotic cells.
Inherent controls for autophagy analysis may help distinguish systemic and tissue-specific autophagic flux in future clinical applications.
Autophagy is perturbed in many pathologies, and therapeutic enhancement or inhibition of this pathway has received considerable attention.
Accurate measurement of autophagic flux and translation of those measurements from in vitro to in vivo settings remain unresolved challenges for clinical application.
Techniques with desirable spatiotemporal resolution and multi-scale data collection are aligned with improving autophagic flux measurement in living organisms.
Current techniques may be used to establish autophagic flux standards or reference points.
