Analyzing autophagosomes and mitophagosomes in the mouse brain using electron microscopy

Summary: Electron microscopy (EM) is considered the gold standard for studying macroautophagy and mitophagy, essential cellular processes for brain health. Here, we present a protocol using EM to analyze autophagosomes and mitophagosomes in the mouse amygdala. We describe the preparation of brain se...
