Article Description

Autophagy is an important process that maintains adult tissue homeostasis and functions by protecting cells in autonomous and non-cell-autonomous ways. By degrading toxic components or proteins involved in cell signaling pathways, autophagy preserves the balance among stem cells, progenitors, and differentiated cells in various tissues. In this minireview, we discuss recent studies performed in Drosophila that highlight new roles of autophagy in adult cell fate decisions, including quiescence, proliferation, differentiation, and death.
