Summary[edit]

Summary
Description	The autophagic process is divided into five distinct stages: Initiation, phagophore nucleation, autophagosomal formation (elongation), autophagosome-lysosome fusion (autophagolysosome) and cargo degradation. Autophagy is stimulated by various cellular stress conditions such as nutrient starvation and oxidative stress.
