## Abstract In the last two decades, much progress has been made in understanding the process of induction and biogenesis of peroxisomes, essential organelles in all eukaryotes. Only relatively recently, the first molecular studies on the selective degradation of this important organelleβa process
## Abstract Degradation and turnover of peroxisomes is reviewed. First, we describe the historical aspects of peroxisome degradation research and the two major concepts for breakdown of peroxisomes, i.e., autophagy and autolysis. Next, the comprehensive knowledge on autophagy of peroxisomes in mamm
