The role of autophagy in mature adipocytes during homeostasis and intestinal inflammation

Abstract:

Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved lysosomal degradation pathway, which can control cell-intrinsic functions such as di erentiation and cellular metabolism. The cell-intrinsic role of autophagy is of particular importance to immune cells, but autophagy also has a cell-extrinsic role in the tumour environment. It remains unclear whether autophagy in the tissue environment can alter immune responses. The release of free fatty acids (FFA) from adipocytes in times of high energy demands (e...
