Abstract
Recent genome-wide association studies have linked polymorphisms in two atophagy genes, Atg16L1 and IRGM, with Crohn's Disease. Now, experiments with Atg16L1 transgenic mice indicate multiple roles for autophagy in inflammatory bowel disease via effects on Paneth cells, a runaway inflammasome, and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1beta.Entities:
