Atg14protects the intestinal epithelium from TNF-triggered villus atrophy
21 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Regulation of intestinal epithelial turnover is a key component of villus maintenance in the intestine. The balance of cell turnover can be perturbed by various extrinsic factors including the cytokine TNF, a cell signaling protein that mediates both proliferative and cytotoxic outcomes. Under conditions of infection and damage, defects in autophagy are associated with TNF-mediated cell death and tissue damage in...
