Regulation of PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, 2011 Parkinson disease (PD) is a devastating disorder of the nervous system for which no cure exists. Although the exact mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of PD are unclear, very recently, a novel cellular process has been identified that promises great future potential.

DNA Checkpoint and Repair Factors Are Nuclear Sensors for Intracellular Organelle Stresses-Inflammations and Cancers Can Have High Genomic Risks. [PDF]
, 2018 Under inflammatory conditions, inflammatory cells release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which cause DNA damage. If not appropriately repaired, DNA damage leads to gene mutations and genomic instability.

Dissecting PINK1/parkin mitophagy dynamics
, 2022 Mitochondria homeostasis is crucial for cellular integrity. Several quality control mechanisms can revert mitochondrial damage. However, in situations of acute and irreversible mitochondrial stress, specific pathways are activated to promote the selective degradation of mitochondria: mitophagy.
