Macroautophagy: A double-membraned vesicle engulfs a part of the cytoplasm which contains single organelles, invading pathogens or an entire collection of proteins and then delivers it to the lysosome. The autophagosome fuses with the lysosome and releases its contents for degradation. Reprinted from [90] with permission from Elsevier.
