Parkin-Independent Mitophagy Controls Chemotherapeutic Response in Cancer Cells [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 Mitophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that selectively targets impaired mitochondria for degradation. Defects in mitophagy are often associated with diverse pathologies, including cancer.

Mitophagy in neurological disorders [PDF]
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021 Selective autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that removes excess protein aggregates and damaged intracellular components. Most eukaryotic cells, including neurons, rely on proficient mitophagy responses to fine-tune the mitochondrial ...

HIF1a-dependent mitophagy facilitates cardiomyoblast differentiation [PDF]
Cell Stress, 2020 Mitophagy is thought to play a key role in eliminating damaged mitochondria, with diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration exhibiting defects in this process.

Mitophagy regulates kidney diseases
Kidney DiseasesBackground: Mitophagy is a crucial process involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis by selectively eliminating damaged or surplus mitochondria. As the kidney is an organ with a high dynamic metabolic rate and abundant mitochondria, it is particularly

Mitophagy and Neuroprotection [PDF]
Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2020 Neurodegenerative diseases are strongly age-related and currently cannot be cured, with a surge of patient numbers in the coming decades in view of the emerging worldwide ageing population, bringing healthcare and socioeconomic challenges. Effective therapies are urgently needed, and are dependent on new aetiological mechanisms.

PINK1-parkin-mediated neuronal mitophagy deficiency in prion disease
Cell Death and Disease, 2022 A persistent accumulation of damaged mitochondria is part of prion disease pathogenesis. Normally, damaged mitochondria are cleared via a major pathway that involves the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) that together initiate ...

Mitophagy in Human Diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Mitophagy is a selective autophagic process, essential for cellular homeostasis, that eliminates dysfunctional mitochondria. Activated by inner membrane depolarization, it plays an important role during development and is fundamental in highly differentiated post-mitotic cells that are highly dependent on aerobic metabolism, such as neurons, muscle ...

Mitophagy Transcriptome: Mechanistic Insights into Polyphenol‐Mediated Mitophagy [PDF]
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017 Mitochondria are important bioenergetic and signalling hubs critical for myriad cellular functions and homeostasis. Dysfunction in mitochondria is a central theme in aging and diseases. Mitophagy, a process whereby damaged mitochondria are selectively removed by autophagy, plays a key homeostatic role in mitochondrial quality control.

Mitophagy for cardioprotection
Basic Research in Cardiology, 2023 AbstractMitochondrial function is maintained by several strictly coordinated mechanisms, collectively termed mitochondrial quality control mechanisms, including fusion and fission, degradation, and biogenesis. As the primary source of energy in cardiomyocytes, mitochondria are the central organelle for maintaining cardiac function.
