Abstract:
In this article, the authors comment on the study “Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei” by Proto et al. (Microbial Cell, 2014), discussing the function of autophagy, a cellular degradation and recycling pathway, in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei.
