Mitophagy in acute lung injury: Recent advances in mechanisms, cell-specific functions, therapeutic implications, and cytopathological relevance
Overall, mitophagy has evolved from a descriptive mitochondrial phenomenon into a promising mechanistic and therapeutic framework for ALI, and while the mechanistic framework is well-supported for macrophages, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells, evidence for other cell types and viral injury contexts remains preli...
