Failure of autophagy induction results in the accumulation of abnormal mitochondria to cause neurodegenerative diseases. Artificial autophagy activation via the mitochondrial delivery of polyrotaxane with autophagy induced activity is achieved using a MITO-Porter, a nanodevice for mitochondrial delivery. This strategy can be applied to innovative research and therapy.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative disease that describes cognitive decline and memory loss resulting in disability in movement, memory, speech etc. Which first affects the hippocampal and entorhinal cortex regions of brain. Pathogenesis of AD depends on Amyloid-β, hyper-phosphorylation of tau protein, mitochondrial dysfunction, cholinergic hypothesis and oxidative stress.

Cellular rejuvenation therapies represent a transformative frontier in addressing age-related decline and extending human health span. By targeting fundamental hallmarks of aging-such as genomic instability, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence-these therapies aim to restore youthful functionality to cells and tissues, offering new hope for treating degenerative diseases. Recent advancements have showcased a range of strategies, including epigenetic reprogramming, senolytic interventions, mitochondrial restoration, stem cell-based approaches, and gene-editing technologies like CRISPR.

Background And Aims: Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome affecting most cancer patients and is directly responsible for about 20% of cancer-related deaths. Previous studies showed muscle proteolysis hyper-activation and mitophagy induction in tumor-bearing animals. While basal mitophagy is required for maintaining muscle mass and quality, excessive mitophagy promotes uncontrolled protein degradation, muscle loss and impaired function.

Mitochondria are essential double-membrane organelles with intricate structures and diverse functions within cells. Under normal physiological conditions, mitochondria regulate cellular metabolism and maintain energy homeostasis via the electron transport chain, mediate stem cell fate, and modulate reactive oxygen species production, playing a pivotal role in energy supply and lifespan extension. However, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to various pathological changes, including cellular aging, necrosis, dysregulated tumor immunity, and the initiation and progression of cancer.
