Abstract

Trauma is common in modern society. Besides TBI and SCI, trauma can lead to severe cardiopulmonary injury and even to death. Fracture and skin injury are also very likely to occur in our daily life. Limited studies have reported the levels of autophagy after heart and trauma, fracture, and skin injury. In this chapter, we update the current state of knowledge and recent advances in the study of autophagy after trauma including heart and lung trauma, fracture, and skin injury which we try to clarify how autophagy levels are affected by injury or trauma and how their manipulation may represent potential novel protective targets for treatments.
