Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Methylated CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) plays a critical role in the normal development and function of the nervous system. Mutations in MeCP2 have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, potentially because of mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitophagy. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Investigating the role of MeCP2 in the regulation of mitophagy is...
