Figure 1. Cartoon representation of pathways involved in autophagy and the chemical inhibitors/inducers of the process. Autophagy involves 4 steps: (1) initiation; (2) nucleation; (3) expansion and closure; and (4) degradation and recycling. Small molecule modulators that affect different steps of autophagy are shown in red color (inhibitors) and green color (inducers)
