Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018.

Lorenzo Galluzzi, +186 more
- 23 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: The Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) has formulated guidelines for the definition and interpretation of cell death from morphological, biochemical, and functional perspectives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring cell death in higher eukaryotes

Lorenzo Galluzzi, +103 more
- 17 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: A nonexhaustive comparison of methods to detect cell death with apoptotic or nonapoptotic morphologies, their advantages and pitfalls is provided and the importance of performing multiple, methodologically unrelated assays to quantify dying and dead cells is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitofusin 2 tethers endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria

Olga Martins de Brito, +1 more
- 04 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein mutated in the inherited motor neuropathy Charcot–Marie–Tooth type IIa, is enriched at the ER–mitochondria interface, and that it tethers ER to mitochondria, a juxtaposition required for efficient mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

OPA1 Controls Apoptotic Cristae Remodeling Independently from Mitochondrial Fusion

Christian Frezza, +10 more
- 14 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1), a profusion dynamin-related protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane mutated in dominant optic atrophy, protects from apoptosis by preventing cytochrome c release independently from mitochondrial fusion.
