Excited that our manuscript is now online @biorxivpreprint if you fancy a read! Its on neutrophil use of selective autophagy in Staphylococcus aureus degradation #preprint #p62 #LC3 #neutrophils #autophagy #zebrafish biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Neutrophils use selective autophagy receptor p62 to target Staphylococcus aureus for degradation in...

Autophagy leads to degradation of cellular components, and has an important role in destroying intracellular pathogens. Autophagy receptors, including p62, target invading intracellular pathogens to...

It took a while but it's online at last! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Macrophages target Salmonella by Lc3-associated phagocytosis in a systemic infection model

Innate immune defense against intracellular pathogens, like Salmonella, relies heavily on the autophagy machinery of the host. This response is studied intensively in epithelial cells, the target o...
