自噬是一種高度選擇性的同行評審期刊，發(fā)表關于自噬過程的所有方面的論文(即，溶酶體/液泡依賴于細胞內物質的降解)。自噬領域已經(jīng)取得了巨大的進展，這在很大程度上是由于自噬與人類健康和疾病的各個方面，包括癌癥、神經(jīng)退化、衰老、糖尿病、肌病和心臟病之間的多重聯(lián)系。我們的目標是成為這個領域的第一雜志，發(fā)表你想讓你的研究小組的人讀的論文。自噬發(fā)表多種類型的論文，包括:原始研究(基礎科學、翻譯和臨床)、綜述(綜合綜述和簡短的點狀分析)、技術論文(工具箱、協(xié)議和資源)、評論以及關于科學和藝術的文章。一般將邀請評論、點播和評論。我們還期待專門討論特定研究領域的特殊問題。歡迎就適當?shù)膶ｎ}提出建議。我們對所有的實驗系統(tǒng)都感興趣，從酵母到人類。所有提交的稿件最初由編輯審閱，如果認為適合進一步審議，則由獨立的、匿名的專家評審人員進行同行評審;我們通常在可能的情況下尋求至少兩次評審。被接受的論文要經(jīng)過嚴格的編輯過程，才能得到高質量的內容。

Autophagy is a highly selective peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers on all aspects of autophagic processes (i.e., the lysosome/vacuole dependent degradation of intracellular material). The field of autophagy has advanced tremendously, due in large part to the multiple connections between autophagy and various aspects of human health and disease including cancer, neurodegeneration, aging, diabetes, myopathies and heart disease. Our goal is to be the premiere journal in this field, publishing papers that you want read by the people in your research group. Autophagy publishes several types of papers including: Original research (basic science, translational and clinical), reviews (both comprehensive overviews and short puncta), technical papers (toolbox, protocol and resource), commentaries, and articles on science and art. Reviews, puncta and commentaries will generally be invited. We also anticipate special issues that are devoted to particular areas of research. Suggestions for appropriate specialized topics are welcome. We are interested in all experimental systems, from yeast to human.All submitted manuscripts are initially reviewed by the editors, and, if considered suitable for further consideration, are sent out for peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees; we generally seek a minimum of two reviews whenever possible. Accepted papers go through a rigorous editing process that results in very high-quality content.
