PINK1-Dependent Mitophagy Regulates the Migration and Homing of Multiple Myeloma Cells via the MOB1B-Mediated Hippo-YAP/TAZ Pathway.

The roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in carcinogenesis remain largely unknown. The effects of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)-dependent mitophagy on the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) are determined. The levels of the PINK1-dependent mitophagy markers and parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase ( in CD138 plasma cells are reduced in patients with MM and correlate with clinical outcomes in myeloma patients.

Electron microscopic observations of Rb particles and pitting in Xe spin-exchange optical pumping cells.

High-volume production of hyperpolarized Xe by spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) has historically fallen short of theoretical predictions. Recently, this shortfall was proposed to be caused by the formation of alkali metal clusters during optical pumping. However, this hypothesis has yet to be verified experimentally.
