Abstract: Mitochondria are cellular organelles that are critical for energy production. They also serve as signalling hubs, integrating a variety of inputs related to metabolic demand, redox control, and apoptosis. The mass and quality of mitochondria within a cell are determined by a balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial turnover. It is important to understand how autophagy and mitophagy can specific play a role in the cell therapy field. A more thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling mitophagy in a homeostasis may eventually allow for manipulation of this process, a technology that could improve the mitochondrial quality in cell therapy and thus facilitate the therapeutic application of these cells in regenerative medicine.
