Mitophagy: The Invisible Process That Quietly Controls Aging, Inflammation, Brain Resilience (and Disease Risk)
Mitophagy is the body’s targeted mitochondrial cleanup system; not general autophagy, but the precise identification and removal of damaged mitochondria so cells can recycle parts and rebuild stronger. In this Deep Dive, Dr. Mike Belkowski breaks down a newly published review, “Mitophagy in the Pathogenesis and Management of Disease,” and explains why mitophagy is more than housekeeping — it’s a strategic control system for mitochondrial integrity, metabolic balance, redox signaling, and immune tone.
You’ll learn the two major mitophagy “toolkits” (ubiquitin-mediated PINK1/Parkin and…
