Types of the autophagy

Non-selective autophagy	Macroautophagy	Double-membrane autophagosome engulfs cytoplasmic components and degrades them by fusing with the lysosome
	Microautophagy	Direct engulfment of cytoplasmic materials by the lysosome through invagination of the lysosomal membrane
Selective autophagy	Chaperone-mediated autophagy	Specific cytoplasmic proteins recognized by chaperones are translocated into the lysosome and degraded
	Mitophagy	Damaged mitochondria are recycled by degradation, adding proteins, lipids, and other components
