Monitoring spatiotemporal changes in chaperone-mediated autophagy in vivo

Chaperone mediated autophagy (CMA) is selective but its activity in different tissue types has been unclear due to a lack of tools. Here, the authors generate transgenic mice expressing a CMA reporter that provides spatial and temporal in vivo data, uncovering differences in CMA in distinct tissues.
