    Autophagy targets damaged organelles and proteins for lysosomal degradation. This potent degradation mechanism has crucial roles in development, immune defence, programmed cell death, tumour suppression, neurodegeneration and stress response. The September 2010 issue of Nature Cell Biologypresents a series of specially commissioned Reviews, Perspectives and Commentaries highlighting new insights into this process.
