Deskripsi

Selective clearance of damaged mitochondria can reverse pathological status in chronic inflammatory diseases. We recently identified a critical role of nuclear receptor Nur77 and celastrol in priming inflamed mitochondria for autophagy through its mitochondrial targeting and interaction with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and the autophagic adaptor p62/SQSTM1.
