The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Oxidative Stress in Aging Human Skin (2015, background): “In addition to macroautophagy, microautophagy [252] as well as chaperone-mediated autophagy [253,254] are possible candidates for the removal of oxidized”
Autophagy-Independent Functions of the Autophagy Machinery (2019, background): “Although these studies provided profound mechanistic insights into bona fide autophagic responses (Li et al., 2012b; Satoo et al., 2009) and fostered the development of targeted inhibitors (Miller et al., 2010; Qiu et al., 2016), experimental design was often, if not always, biased toward…”
Molecular definitions of autophagy and related processes (2017, neutral): “…at baseline levels, hence contributing to the preservation of cellular homeostasis as they avoid the accumulation of potentially cytotoxic entities that may accumulate as a result of normal cellular functions (e.g., damaged mitochondria) (Li et al , 2012; Cuervo & Wong, 2014; Sica et al , 2015).”
The lysosome: from waste bag to potential therapeutic target. (2013, background): “Microautophagy involves direct engulfment of cytoplasmic cargo at the limiting lysosomal membrane (Li et al., 2012).”
Monitoring and Measuring Autophagy (2017, background): “In microautophagy, the lysosome or vacuole itself engulfs a portion of cytoplasm either by invagination of the lysosomal membrane or protrusion of the membrane to surround the cytosol or organelles [2,3].”
