Autophagy Flux Diagram
Create a clear autophagy flux diagram for papers, PPT slides, research summaries, and cellular mechanisms education. Start from a reusable prompt and adapt it to your own pathway.

What this mechanism diagram shows
This autophagy flux diagram turns the homepage example into a searchable, reusable scientific figure page. It is designed to help readers understand the mechanism structure before generating their own version in MechFig.
- 1Nutrient stress
- 2mTOR off / AMPK on
- 3ULK1
- 4phagophore nucleation
- 5ATG-mediated elongation
Reusable prompt
Paste this into MechFig, then replace the ingredient, pathway, or target tissue with your own research context.
Cellular process mechanism figure, organelle icons (autophagosome, lysosome), sequential numbered steps, clean vector, Nature-review-figure aesthetic. Scientific content: Nutrient stress → mTOR off / AMPK on → ULK1 → phagophore nucleation → ATG-mediated elongation → autophagosome → lysosome fusion → cargo degradation.
FAQ
What should a autophagy flux diagram include?
It should include the starting trigger or input, the major pathway nodes, directional arrows between steps, and a concise endpoint that explains the biological meaning.
Can I use this as a starting point for my own figure?
Yes. Use the prompt as a structure, then replace the pathway, ingredient, disease context, or endpoint with your own research content.
