title: Autophagy: Press and Push for Destruction.
abstract: Recent publications illustrate an extensive crosstalk between the actin cytoskeleton and autophagy, a program for self-digestion. Actin polymerization provides a pushing force for organelle shaping and trafficking during autophagy, but the cytoskeleton is also targeted by autophagy under mechanical strain.
