Different forms of autophagy restrict neurite outgrowth in disparate compartments in a single neuron

Autophagy is a degradative pathway that is critical in neurons to maintain their homeostasis and to direct nervous system development. Neurons are large, highly polarized cells with distinct compartments that perform discrete functions. How an individual neuron can differentially mobilize autophagy in the axon, dendrit...
