Autophagy Snuffs a Macrophage's Inner Fire

Abstract

Autophagy is a well-known cell-intrinsic antiviral defense mechanism. Two new studies published in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe (Lu et al., 2016; Park et al., 2016) demonstrate that deletion of autophagy in myeloid cells leads paradoxically to better control of viral infection in vivo through enhanced inflammation, leading to antiviral resistance.
