Urolithin A attenuates auditory cell senescence by activating mitophagy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
AbstractAging of sensory organs is associated with a decline in mitochondrial function and the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. Impaired mitophagy blocks the turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria and leads to their accumulation. Urolithin A (UA) induces mitophagy in various mammalian cells.
