Autolysosomes are organelles involved in the process of autophagy, a cellular mechanism that degrades and recycles damaged or dysfunctional cellular components.
Autolysosomes, specifically, are involved in the final stages of autophagy, where the autophagosome fuses with a lysosome to form an autolysosome. The autolysosome then degrades the engulfed cellular components, releasing the resulting nutrients back into the cell.
