Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is more common in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) than in the general population, suggesting a shared but unclear pathogenesis. Autophagy, a conserved intracellular cleaning process, maintains cellular health by removing debris and recycling nutrients. Given the limited research on autophagy in this comorbidity, this study investigated the role of...
