Abstract

Autophagy is genetically associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, its role remains unclear in disease pathogenesis. Three recent studies reveal a novel cytoprotective role of autophagy during viral, bacterial, and protozoan-triggered IBD (Burger et al., 2018; Matsuzawa-Ishimoto et al., 2017; Pott et al., 2018).
