Core Tip	Autophagy, from a morphological standpoint, shares similarities with other biological processes such as phagocytosis and apoptosis. As an intracellular catabolic mechanism, autophagy, along with the ubiquitin-proteasome system, contributes to maintaining cellular homeostasis. Moreover, autophagy also assumes a role in programmed cell death when apoptosis is absent. Numerous studies have established the close association between autophagy and the physiological functions of different gastrointestinal (GI) cells. Morphological investigations have furnished substantial evidence highlighting autophagy's pro-survival role in benign conditions like intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammatory bowel disease, and GI motility disorders. Further research into the involvement of autophagy in GI tumors is necessary to unravel these unresolved mysteries in the future.
