Autophagy-mediated regulation of neutrophils and clinical applications

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy, an adaptive catabolic process, plays a cytoprotective role in enabling cellular homeostasis in the innate and adaptive immune systems. Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in circulation, are professional killers that orchestrate a series of events during acute inflammation. The recent literature indicates that autophagy has important roles in regulating neutrophil functions, including...
