Mitochondria: In Sickness and in Health

TL;DR: This work provides a current view of how mitochondrial functions impinge on health and disease and identifies mitochondrial dysfunction as a key factor in a myriad of diseases, including neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological roles of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: More and more evidence suggests that mROS are critical for healthy cell function, and this evidence is discussed following some background on the generation and regulation ofmROS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial form and function

TL;DR: Recent advances have revealed how the organelle's behaviour has evolved to allow the accurate transmission of its genome and to become responsive to the needs of the cell and its own dysfunction.

PINK1 and Parkin Target Miro for Phosphorylation and Degradation to Arrest Mitochondrial Motility

TL;DR: It is proposed that PINK1 phosphorylation of substrates triggers the subsequent action of Parkin and the proteasome, and the PINK/Parkin pathway may quarantine damaged mitochondria prior to their clearance.

Parkinson's disease: Mechanisms and models

TL;DR: PD models based on the manipulation of PD genes should prove valuable in elucidating important aspects of the disease, such as selective vulnerability of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons to the degenerative process.

A cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors linked to adaptive thermogenesis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PGC-1 plays a key role in linking nuclear receptors to the transcriptional program of adaptive thermogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

PINK1 is selectively stabilized on impaired mitochondria to activate Parkin.

TL;DR: The authors suggest that PINK1 and Parkin form a pathway that senses damaged mitochondria and selectively targets them for degradation.

PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy is dependent on VDAC1 and p62/SQSTM1

TL;DR: Functional links between PINK1, Parkin and the selective autophagy of mitochondria, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, are provided.
