Phagolysosomes break down the membrane of a non-apoptotic corpse independent of macroautophagy.
Cell corpses must be cleared in an efficient manner to maintain tissue homeostasis and regulate immune responses.Ubiquitin-like Atg8/LC3 family proteins promote the degradation of membranes and internal cargo during both macroautophagy and corpse clearance, raising the question how macroautophagy contributes to corpse clearance.Studying the clearan
