Endosomal removal and disposal of dysfunctional, immunostimulatory mitochondrial DNA
2022-10-12
Abstract excerpt
Maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system, but is also a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that engages innate immune sensors when released into the cytoplasm, outside of cells or into circulation 1 .
