Abstract
Autophagy is one of the intracellular machinery for maintaining organelle as well as physiological homeostasis in cells by clearance of cellular debris and recycling of essential raw materials. It is different from other cellular processes like apoptosis and necrosis in the sense that it acts as a double-edged sword that might lead either to survival or death based on the stimuli. There are broadly three different types of autophagy: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone mediated autophagy. Macroautophagy is one of the commonly understood forms of autophagy and has been discussed simply as autophagy throughout the chapter. The role of autophagy in stem cell maintenance and differentiation is essential as both the processes require intensive intracellular remodeling which involves a continuous cycle of synthesis and degradation of event-specific proteins. Several pathways are involved in the regulation of autophagy and vice versa in stem cells. Among them, there are master proteins mandatory for stem cell maintenance and/or differentiation reported to be directly regulating autophagy. The current chapter discusses the different signaling pathways in stem cells; regulating or being regulated by autophagy and its role in the maintenance and differentiation of various types of stem cells.
