mito-QC illuminates mitophagy and mitochondrial architecture in vivo.

The Journal of cell biology 2016 πŸ“Š 467

Autophagic turnover of mitochondria, termed mitophagy, is proposed to be an essential quality-control (QC) mechanism of pathophysiological relevance in mammals. However, if and how mitophagy...
