Autophagy, is a unique peer-reviewed journal with an international audience that covers the following topics: Macroautophagy, microautophagy, specific organelle degradation (e. g. , pexophagy) and additional autophagic processes including chaperone-mediated autophagy; The molecular mechanism of autophagy including the characterization of structural proteins and structure/function relationships; Signaling and autophagic regulation; The role of autophagy in diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and myopathies; Developmental roles of autophagy and its connection with aging; Autophagy in microbial invasion and the immune response; and Autophagy in cell death. Autophagy will publish three general types of papers: Original research, reviews, and commentaries. Reviews and commentaries will generally be invited. We propose to cover a wide range of topics in all experimental systems. We also anticipate special issues that are devoted to particular areas of research. Suggestions for appropriate specialized topics will be welcome.
