Abstract
The mammalian intestine harbors a mass of microorganisms that is essential to maintain intestinal epithelium homeostasis and health. However, some microbes can damage the epithelial mucosal barrier to utilize nutrients for their survival and growth. Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process that targets cytoplasmic damaged organelles and some cellular molecules to lysosome for degradation. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that autophagy plays an important role in the innate immune system in response to different gut pathogens. For instance, autophagy can be induced to mediate the process of pathogenic infection during pathogens invasion. In this review, we mainly discuss the steps of autophagy pathway mediated by microbes and the role of autophagy in the gut pathogens clearance and evasion.
Keywords: Antimicrobial peptides, autophagosome, autophagy, clearance, evasion, gut pathogens.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
