MeSH definition : Large spherical double-layered structures which function in AUTOPHAGY to engulf intracellular
components such as ORGANELLES or pathogens. Their outer membrane then fuses with the
LYSOSOME and the inner membrane and contents are digested by lysosomal HYDROLASES.; Large spherical double-layered structures which function in AUTOPHAGY to engulf intracellular
components such as ORGANELLES or pathogens. Their outer membrane then fuses with the
LYSOSOME (forming the AUTOLYSOSOME) and the inner membrane and contents are digested
by lysosomal HYDROLASES.;
