RETRACTED: NFIL3 Facilitates Neutrophil Autophagy, Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation and Inflammation During Gout via REDD1-Dependent mTOR Inactivation

Autophagy pathways play an important role in immunity and inflammation via pathogen clearance mechanisms mediated by immune cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils.In particular, autophagic activity is essential for the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a distinct form of active neutrophil death.The current study set out to eluci
