Mitochondria-affecting small molecules ameliorate proteostasis defects associated with neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract Macroautophagic recycling of dysfunctional mitochondria, known as mitophagy, is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis and cell viability. Accumulation of defective mitochondria and impaired mitophagy have been widely implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases, and loss-of-function muta...
