17β-estradiol abrogates apoptosis inhibiting PKCδ, JNK and p66Shc activation in C2C12 cells [PDF]
17β-Estradiol (E2) protects several non-reproductive tissues from apoptosis, including skeletal muscle. Previously, we showed that E2 at physiological concentrations prevented apoptosis induced by H2O2 in skeletal myoblasts.

Mitochondria directly donate their membrane to form autophagosomes during a novel mechanism of parkin-associated mitophagy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Autophagy (macroautophagy), a cellular process of “self-eating”, segregates damaged/aged organelles into vesicles, fuses with lysosomes, and enables recycling of the digested materials.
