Autophagy and Immune-Related Diseases

Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology

Abstract

As a result of its multifunction both in innate and adaptive immune systems, autophagy has been demonstrated to take part in the pathogenesis of several immune-related diseases. The study on the pathological mechanism of autophagy in these diseases may provide an experimental and theoretical basis for targeted intervention of autophagy in the prevention and treatment of immune diseases. To date, it has been reported that autophagy can eliminate impaired mitochondrial to inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome which promotes the progression of atherosclerosis. Moreover, enhanced autophagy can effectively prevent the occurrence of GVHD. It also plays a key role in the development of viral hepatitis. Therefore, autophagy might be a promising regulatory target for the treatment of immune-related diseases.

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
