Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Serra Ozgen"
- Serra Ozgen's recent research focuses on the role of mitochondria in cellular mechanisms, particularly in relation to mitophagy and its impact on neurogenesis and cardiovascular health, highlighting the significance of mitochondrial integrity in disease prevention.
- Ozgen's work emphasizes the regulation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by mitochondrial deubiquitinase USP30, which serves as a key player in mediating the effects of mitophagy on cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
- The studies collectively underline how mitochondrial dysfunction, often exacerbated by aging, can lead to neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular disorders, stressing the importance of maintaining mitochondrial health for overall cognitive and physical well-being.
