Discovery and implications of transcellular mitophagy

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial quality control system regulating mitochondria biogenesis, dynamics, and degradation has been extensively studied because of its roles in normal cell homeostasis and dysfunction due to aging or disease. Mitochondria degradation is generally thought to occur by autophagy and has therefore been viewed as a cell-autonomous process. In a recent study, we demonstrated that a large fraction of retinal...
