Monitoring the Regulation of Mitophagy in Skeletal Muscles Under Normal and Pathological Conditions
FY 2023-24
Summary
Background: The elimination of damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria by the
autophagy-lysosome pathway, a process known as mitophagy, is essential for
maintaining mitochondrial quality and cellular function. This process has been
well characterized in vitro but has been difficult to quantify in vivo. Recently, a
fluorescent reporter system called mito-QC (mitochondrial quality control) has
been developed to specifically monitor mitophagy in vivo.
