Mitophagy is the selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy.
The vital organelles known as mitochondria control the homeostasis of cellular energy and cell death. Therefore, it is essential for preserving healthy cellular processes that damaged mitochondria are eliminated through autophagy, also known as mitophagy. In fact, it has recently been suggested that mitophagy is essential for neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia- or drug-induced tissue injury, paternal mitochondrial degradation, red blood cell terminal differentiation, and other processes.
Mitophagy and autophagy are crucial cellular processes that break down the contents of cells, conserve energy, and prevent the buildup of broken and aggregated biomolecules.
