Quality control of the mitochondrion. [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2021
Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute and coordinate various metabolic processes in the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction severely affects cell fitness and contributes to disease. Proper organellar function depends on the biogenesis and maintenance of mitochondria and its >1,000 proteins.

Autophagy Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress, Two Related Mechanisms Implicated in Retinitis Pigmentosa

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of the most common clinical subtypes of retinal degeneration (RD), and it is a neurodegenerative disease that could cause complete blindness in humans because it ultimately affects the photoreceptors viability.

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Mitochondrion-Specific Blinking Fluorescent Bioprobe for Nanoscopic Monitoring of Mitophagy.

open access: yesACS Nano, 2019
Dynamic changes of mitochondrial morphology play an important role in cellular metabolism. Real-time monitoring mitochondrial ultrastructural dynamics at nanometer-scale resolution is crucially desired on the further understanding of the mitochondria ...

A Peroxisomal Lon Protease and Peroxisome Degradation by Autophagy Play Key Roles in Vitality of Hansenula polymorpha Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In eukaryote cells various mechanisms exist that are responsible for the removal of non-functional proteins. Here we show that in the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (H.

The Roles of Mitochondrion in Intergenomic Gene Transfer in Plants: A Source and a Pool

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Intergenomic gene transfer (IGT) is continuous in the evolutionary history of plants. In this field, most studies concentrate on a few related species. Here, we look at IGT from a broader evolutionary perspective, using 24 plants.

The balance between fumarate and malate plays an important role in plant development and postharvest quality in tomato fruit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Organic acids, produced as intermediates of the tricarboxylic cycle, play a crucial role in the plant primary metabolism and are considered as being ones of the most important quality traits in edible fruits.

Young apple polyphenol extract prevents diabetic cognitive dysfunction by promoting TET2-mediated active DNA demethylation in the brain of diabetic mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionDiabetic cognitive dysfunction (DCD) refers to the impairment of cognitive function resulting from diabetes. The increasing prevalence of diabetes and the aging population have rendered DCD a significant threat to brain health.
