Here, we examined the potential role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels in conveying aggressive phenotypes in cancer cells, using two widely-used breast cell lines as model systems (MCF7[ER+] and MDA-MB-231[ER-]). These human breast cancer cell line... Read More about High mitochondrial DNA content is a key determinant of stemness, proliferation, cell migration, and cancer metastasis in vivo.

Mitophagy and cancer: role of BNIP3/BNIP3L as energetic drivers of stemness features, ATP production, proliferation, and cell migration (2024)
Journal Article

Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy which permits the removal of dysfunctional or excess mitochondria. This occurs as an adaptative response to physiological stressors, such as hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, or DNA damage. Mitophagy is promote...
