Autophagy in macrophages curtails IL-1α-mediated immune priming against lung infections
From the report
Nature Immunology, Published online: 29 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41590-026-02699-wWang and colleagues show that autophagy deficiency in alveolar macrophages upregulates the expression of IL-1α and increases resistance to respiratory infections.
