Fragmentation of the cytosplasm and intracellular components (orange and red) in autophagic processes. Characteristic vacuoles, called autophagosomes (green), are degraded by lysosoms (blue) without inflammation or ATP consumption. The autophagic marker LC3 (pink) is detectable in the superficial and middle zones of osteoarthritic joint cartilage.
