This month in Cell Stress: The neuro-developmental role of autophagy. Image depicts mosaic expression of RNAi constructs and GFP reporter (light cells) in Drosophila fat body, a tissue, which shows programmed autophagy during development. Fluorescent autophagy reporter constructs (red-purple) are used to compare the autophagy phenotype of RNAi-expressing cells to that of surrounding cells. Image Credit: Andreas Zimmermann.
