Mitophagy Regulation Following Myocardial Infarction
Mitophagy, which mediates the selective elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria, is essential for cardiac homeostasis. Mitophagy is regulated mainly by PTEN-induced putative kinase protein-1 (PINK1)/parkin pathway but also by FUN14 domain-containing 1 (

A Mammalian Mitophagy Receptor, Bcl2-L-13, Recruits the ULK1 Complex to Induce Mitophagy [PDF]
Summary: Degradation of mitochondria by selective autophagy, termed mitophagy, contributes to the control of mitochondrial quality. Bcl2-L-13 is a mammalian homolog of Atg32, which is an essential mitophagy receptor in yeast.

Decoding Mitophagy in Breast Cancer: Biological Mechanisms, Dual Roles, and Clinical Implications [PDF]
Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy, essential to maintain cellular homeostasis by removing damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria. Several lines of evidence suggest that defective mitophagy is associated with various diseases, including breast ...

PINK1-parkin-mediated neuronal mitophagy deficiency in prion disease
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 neurological disorders
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 ...
