Mitophagy is a mitochondrial quality control mechanism that removes damaged or unwanted mitochondria. It plays an essential role in cellular homeostasis, metabolism, and development, and protects against a wide range of diseases. Organismal health depends on the proper removal of damaged or unwanted mitochondria. Mitophagy is considered crucial for maintaining the health span and lifespan of organisms, as well as protecting against age-related degeneration.

Overview of Our Mitochondrial Autophagy Analysis Services in Aging
Mitochondrial autophagy flux measurements
Our approach incorporates advanced molecular and imaging technologies to precisely measure the flux of autophagy, providing researchers with detailed insights into the efficiency and regulation of autophagic processes within aging cells. By quantifying autophagy flux, researchers can analyze alterations in mitochondrial quality control mechanisms during aging, potential targets for therapeutic interventions, and candidate biomarkers for age-related pathologies.
Aging-related mitochondrial autophagic pathway analysis
Our repertoire of services encompasses in-depth analysis of the molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial autophagy, particularly in the context of aging. By utilizing advanced molecular and genetic techniques, we allow researchers to gain comprehensive insights into the dysregulation of mitochondrial autophagy pathways in aging cells, shedding light on the molecular underpinnings of age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control. Through analysis of these pathways, our clients can identify key molecular targets that may be manipulated to restore proper mitochondrial autophagy function and mitigate age-related pathologies.
