Description

Mengyao Wu and co-authors review in 2026 how the cell's cleanup of worn-out mitochondria keeps its organelles talking to each other. That cleanup, mitophagy, removes damaged power plants before they poison the cell. The review argues it also steers the wider organelle web, from the protein-folding compartment to fat droplets.

Signals run both ways along contact sites and shared chemistry, shaping stress responses, redox balance, and cell fate. When the chatter breaks, organ function suffers across diseases. The authors close by surveying small molecules that tune mitophagy, as candidate tools to restore healthy organelle communication.
