Preface In 1955, Christian de Duve discovered previously unknown organelles: lysosomes. The discovery significantly contributed to him being awarded a share of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for elucidating “the structural and functional organization of the cell.” More recently, Yoshinori Ohsumi has won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering and elucidating mechanisms underlying autophagy, a fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components. Thus, this volume for the methods in molecular biology which focuses on mitophagy, a form of autophagy, is timely and deeply mea
