Abstract

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) governs degradation of cytosolic proteins damaged by nutritional changes and declines with age. In this issue, Schneider et al. (2014) reveal CMA as a novel player in the regulation of liver lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and suggest that defects in CMA may play a major role in metabolic dysregulation.
