The Role of Autophagy in the Maintenance of Mitochondrial Quality and Adaptations to Contractile Activity
(2015-08-28)
Autophagy is a critical survival mechanism facilitating protein turnover and pathogen defense in post-mitotic cells. More recently, mitophagy has been identified for the selective recognition and targeting of mitochondria ...
The Interplay Between PGC-1 and Autophagy During Metabolic Alterations in Skeletal Muscle
(2015-08-28)
PGC-1α is a transcriptional co-activator well established as a potent regulator of oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. This co-activator mediates metabolic adaptation to exercise by orchestrating mitochondrial biogenesis. ...
The Role of PGC-1 alpha in Mediating Exercise-Induced TFEB Expression and Activity in Skeletal Muscle
(2017-07-27)
A healthy mitochondrial pool in skeletal muscle is maintained by the coordinated processes of biogenesis and mitophagy. PGC-1alpha is a key transcriptional co-activator necessary for mitochondrial synthesis, whereas ...
