The inflammatory bowel disease drug azathioprine induces autophagy via mTORC1 and the unfolded protein response sensor PERK. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 25(9), 1481-1496. https://doi.org/10.1093/ibd/izz039

Background Genetic studies have strongly linked autophagy to Crohn's disease (CD) and stimulating autophagy in CD patients may be therapeutically beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of current inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)...

The type III intermediate filament vimentin regulates organelle distribution and modulates autophagy (2019)
Journal Article
Biskou, O., Casanova, V., Hooper, K., Kemp, S., Wright, G. P., Satsangi, J., Barlow, P., & Stevens, C. (2019). The type III intermediate filament vimentin regulates organelle distribution and modulates autophagy. PLOS ONE, 14(1), Article e0209665. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209665

The cytoskeletal protein vimentin plays a key role in positioning of organelles within the cytosol and has been linked to the regulation of numerous cellular processes including autophagy, however, how vimentin regulates autophagy remains relatively...
