This volume presents the latest techniques used by researchers to study selective autophagy in a broad range of organisms such as yeast, plants, worms, fruit flies, and mammals. The chapters in this book cover several types of selective autophagy such as mitophagy, aggrephagy, ER-phagy, ferritinophagy, pexophagy, and nucleophagy. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Selective Autophagy: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for novice and expert researchers who want to learn more about this interesting and developing field.
