This volume focuses on mitophagy providing methods and protocols on the methodologies and the background information on monitoring mitophagy. Chapters detail the analysis of mitophagy in connection with Parkinson’s disease, especially young onset Parkinson’s disease impaired by PINK/parkin pathway, Drosophila, yeast, and Caenorhabditis elegans models. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Mitophagy: Methods and Protocols aims to stimulate and encourage researchers to carry out ongoing and new investigations into mitophagy.
