Mitophagy in Health and Disease, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Mitophagy in Health and Disease: Mechanisms, Health Implications, and Therapeutic Opportunities is a complete reference to this key cellular process involved in homeostasis. The book addresses the machinery and mechanisms of mitophagy, including an overview of mito-biogenesis and dynamics and specific types of mitophagy. Other sections cover mitophagy across the human lifespan, from development to aging, discussing the interplay between inflammation and several conditions. The final part covers therapeutic opportunities presented by targeting mitophagy, including inducers and inhibitors, targeting strategies, and studies specific to cardioprotection and neurodegenerative diseases prevention.

This is the ideal reference for cellular and molecular biologists needing a consistent and thorough overview of the subject, as well as research physicians in areas where mitochondria play a key role.
