Mitophagy describes the process by which damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria are selectively degraded and recycled by the cell. The molecular mechanisms that regulate mitophagy include key proteins ...

If you’ve been following the latest health trends, you’ve likely heard people buzzing about a new “longevity molecule.” But ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. ZHAO Guoping from High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a mechanism by which ...

Autophagy is a natural, conserved process where cells degrade and recycle their own components, including damaged proteins and organelles. This targeted removal is orchestrated by cargo receptors, ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge, Harvard Medical School and collaborators investigated the potential of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 30 (USP30) inhibition as a therapeutic ...

A novel drug candidate is yielding encouraging pre-clinical results as a potential chemotherapeutic by killing mitochondria in leukemia cells, whilst leaving healthy cells unaffected. Mitochondria, ...

Having healthy mitochondria, the organelles that produce energy in all our cells, usually portends a long healthy life whether in humans or in C. elegans, a tiny, short-lived nematode worm often used ...

Researchers found photoreceptor cells can recover from apoptosis if stress signals are removed. Functional mitochondria and ...
