Project description
 

Selective autophagy plays an important role in innate immunity and inflammation. Using several cellular models we will investigate if and how the anti-inflammatory protein A20 regulates autophagy. In addition, we will study the possible role of autophagy in the anti-inflammatory effects of A20.
