Mas receptor activation promotes mitophagy and preserves neuronal function after traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading global cause of death and long-term disability, primarily due to secondary injury mechanisms such as mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitophagy,the selective degradation of damaged mitochondria. While the ACE2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor (MasR) axis is recognized for...
