Autophagy is a fundamental cellular process that eliminates molecules and subcellular
elements, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and organelles, via lysosome-mediated …

The term autophagy encompasses different pathways that route cytoplasmic material to
lysosomes for degradation and includes macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy …

Degradation of mitochondria via a selective form of autophagy, named mitophagy, is a
fundamental mechanism conserved from yeast to humans that regulates mitochondrial …

Maintaining optimal mitochondrial function is a feature of health. Mitophagy removes and
recycles damaged mitochondria and regulates the biogenesis of new, fully functional ones …

A reduced removal of dysfunctional mitochondria is common to aging and age-related
neurodegenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Strategies for treating …

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles with multiple functions. They participate in necrotic cell
death and programmed apoptotic, and are crucial for cell metabolism and survival …

Cardiomyocytes are subjected to the intense mechanical stress and metabolic demands of
the beating heart. It is unclear whether these cells, which are long-lived and rarely renew …

The dynamic properties of mitochondria—including their fusion, fission, and degradation—
are critical for their optimal function in energy generation. The interplay of fusion and fission …

Aging is typified by a progressive decline in mitochondrial activity and stress resilience.
Here, we review how mitochondrial stress pathways have pleiotropic effects on cellular and …

Mitophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process to remove dysfunctional or
superfluous mitochondria, thus fine-tuning mitochondrial number and preserving energy …
