Abstract
Autophagy is a crucial 'self-eating' mechanism used by eukaryotic cells to degrade and recycle cytosolic materials. A recent study by Da Graça et al. reports that the dynamic mobilization of endosome-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (EERCS) in response to starvation creates a confined environment that facilitates Ca2+-dependent phagophore biogenesis.
