Autophagy research: lessons from metabolism.
Autophagy research continues to expand exponentially. Clearly autophagy and metabolism are intimately connected; however, the rapid expansion of research into this topic inevitably brings the risk that important basic knowledge of metabolism will be overlooked when considering experimental data. Unfortunately, unawareness of possible metabolic complications may sometimes lead to misinterpretation of the data obtained.
