  • Aging and exposure to toxic chemicals cause oxidative damage to mitochondria, which is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.
  • Cells have developed signaling pathways, particularly involving the proteins PINK1 and parkin, to identify and eliminate damaged mitochondria and maintain cellular health.
  • PINK1 activates parkin by phosphorylating proteins on damaged mitochondria, leading to their degradation or removal through processes like mitophagy, but several aspects of these mechanisms still need to be explored.
