Abstract

The innate immune response is shaped by multiple factors, including both traditional autophagy and LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). As the autophagic machinery is engaged during times of nutrient stress, arising from scarcity or pathogens, we examine how autophagy, specifically LAP, and cellular metabolism together influence macrophage function and the innate immune response.
