Autophagy in Rheumatic Diseases: Role in the Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Approaches
15 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a lysosomal pathway for the degradation of damaged proteins and intracellular components that promotes cell survival under specific conditions. Apoptosis is, in contrast, a critical programmed cell death mechanism, and the relationship between these two processes influences cell fate.
