Innate immunity and inflammophagy: balancing the defence and immune homeostasis
26 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Extensive crosstalk exists between autophagy and innate immune signalling pathways. The stimuli that induce pattern recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated innate immune signalling pathways, also upregulate autophagy. The purpose of this increased autophagy is to eliminate the stimuli and/or suppress the inflammatory pathways by targeted degradation of PRRs or intermediary proteins (termed 'inflammophagy'). By...
