A newly identified cellular pathway involving WIPI proteins offers fresh insight into mitophagy, suggesting new directions for targeted Parkinson’s disease therapies. doi.org/g9t998
Newly discovered cellular trigger could lead to possible therapies for Parkinson's disease
Autophagy is essentially the "rubbish collection" of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result.

A newly identified mechanism shows mitochondria and peroxisomes cooperate to manage oxidative stress, offering fresh insight into cellular defense and potential targets for age-related disease therapies. doi.org/g9ssj9
Researchers discover new way cells protect themselves from damage
An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves against oxidative stress, a finding that could shift how we understand age-associated conditions such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.

Nerve-to-cancer transfer of mitochondria during cancer metastasis - Nature
A study reports the development of a method to trace intercellular transfer of mitochondria, and demonstrates that cancer cells that receive mitochondria from neurons have enhanced metastatic capabilities.
