Mitochondrial autophagy in neural function, neurodegenerative disease, neuron cell death, and aging
Macroautophagy is a cellular process by which cytosolic components and organelles are degraded in double-membrane bound structures upon fusion with lysosomes. A pathway for selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy, known as mitophagy, has been described, and is of particular importance to...
