Recent insights into the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy appears to play a dual role in eukaryotic cells. It manifests cytoprotective effects through the regulation of catabolic processes and the clearance of pathogens; however, a correlation between autophagy and the pathogenesis of autoimmune/autoinflammatory conditions has recently been described. Autophagy has emerged as a mediator in the pathogenesis of RA. Autophagy may regulate apoptosis resistance and...
