Autophagy as an architect of embryogenesis: Understanding the new mechanisms, emerging paradigms, and future directions

Key Points

• Autophagy plays a crucial role in embryogenesis, influencing cellular processes and development.
• Key evidence suggests autophagy impacts protein degradation, cell signaling, and developmental pathways in embryonic stages.
• This research assesses mechanisms of autophagy in embryonic development, illustrating its complexity and importance.
• Further exploration of these mechanisms may enable novel insights and applications in developmental biology.
