PINK1: From Parkinson's disease to mitophagy and back again

PLoS Biol. 2023 Jun 29;21(6):e3002196. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002196. eCollection 2023 Jun.

Abstract

The genetics of Parkinson's disease has been key to unravelling the PINK1-dependent mitophagy process. Here, we discuss the implications of a 2010 PLOS Biology paper that shed light on the functional importance of PINK1 in the mitophagy cascade.
