Article Synopsis
- Leprosy is a chronic disease affecting public health in developing countries and is classified into four clinical forms: indeterminate, borderline, tuberculoid, and lepromatous.
- The study analyzed autophagy and various cell death mechanisms (apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis) in skin lesions of 30 leprosy patients across different forms.
- Findings revealed that lepromatous leprosy exhibited significantly higher expressions of specific markers associated with cell death compared to other forms, indicating their potential role in disease progression and informing future treatment strategies.
