Abstract excerpt
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that has been associated with polymorphisms in the genes encoding the pattern-recognition receptor NOD2 and the autophagic regulator ATG16L1. A new study demonstrates that NOD2 recruits ATG16L1 at bacterial entry sites, thereby bridging innate immunity and autophagy.
