Autophagy is a conserved cellular degradation system essential for maintaining cellular and organismal homeostasis. In recent years, the field has advanced rapidly, uncovering new physiological roles for autophagy. In this symposium, six leading scientists will present cutting-edge research that deepens our insights into the molecular basis of the diverse functions of autophagy, including stress adaptation, lysosomal maintenance, immune regulation, neurodevelopment, neuroprotection, and plant seed development.
